I hate Ruiz just as much as the next guy but he's no bum....I hate him like a bum but he wins fights.
Wladimir, Lyakhovich, Maskaev, and Valuev are good fighters now they just need to fight each other
There's a few up and coming guys like chageav from europe and asia but they really haven't fought anybody. Hopefully they're as good as their padded records.
It's a reflection of the fact that the best Yank athletes are now going onto basketball and American Football etc.
I think wlad is the equivalent to a club for a car. He makes sure the division isn't stolen by some chump until an actual champion shows up.
Chagaev is no different than Sultan....

That's what I was thinking as I watched it...
I didn't say he was gonna beat Ruiz. I said he would knock Wlad out with just 1 punch. Hell, Cory Spinks could probably knock Wlad out with 1 punch.Quote:
