    It truly was an amazing round for Ruiz...


    Plus, he wasn't hugging as much as he used to.

    Agreed unless Wilder or Arreola landed a huge bomb early. Otherwise he's beat em all cept Wlad.

    anyone remember that one guy who posted on how great John Ruiz is on this forum a few years back. He also wrote a book. What happened to him?

    Remember Ruiz faked a good body shot he received against Holyfield pretending he was hit low. I hated him ever since.

    John Ruiz was underrated. Obviously he's not going to go down as one of the best HWs of all time, but I don't think he was nearly as bad as most people think he was.

    He had an ugly/boring style, but he could get the job done for the most part.

    He was very limited a fortunate he faced an old Holyfield. He got beat by Toney and Haye as well as Valued.

    To be fair, he got absolutely ROBBED vs Valuev, and lost to a roided-up drug cheat Toney.

    David Haye murdered him, but he was nearly 40 and at the end of his career.

    Ruiz had exceptional movement for a HW- aside from the time he got caught cold by David Tua. But, after the Tua fight, he kept on moving with brilliance- the better movement guys in the business.

    There, I said something nice...
