    Ruiz was never a dangerous heavyweight, which I think is a massive factor with all heavyweights. An all-time great like Holyfield wasn't a dynamite puncher but in his pomp had more than enough skill/speed/crack to hurt giants and beat the crap out of fellow heavyweights.

    If you claim Ruiz had a good career after losing to Roy then Toney stopping Holy is even more impressive, he made him look like a mug. Yes Holy was a fossil, but afterwards he arguably beat Valuev, half-a-dozen years later, Rahman and Oquendo. His form as a fossil matches up with Ruiz post-Roy.

    Roy did mention fights with Tyson and maybe Holyfield at the time after his defeat of Ruiz.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
