    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.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    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...
