Some people I can't stand... trash talking brawlers who every one else seems to love.

Can't say I like Ruiz but I don't understand the amount of stick he gets off fight fans.
Not so fast AdamGB. Remember the press conference where he dressed up as a pimp while trash talking his opponent, what about when he called Lennox Lewis a girl after recieving a DQ victory over Kirk Johnson, he has disrespected many boxers as well as the sanctioning body and the boxing commission, all this and you would think he had superstar talent, there are boxers out there that talk more trash then him (Judah, Mayweather, Toney, Mayorga, etc) but all those boxers are superior athletes to John Ruiz, another thing is that the HW champion is the sports highest honor considering that the casual fan only likes the Heavyweights (and De La Hoya) and with his talent level he deserves the slack he get's, the reason you don't hear about his trash talk in the media is because the media does not care.
