Oddly enough I don't mind Ruiz that much and think he did quite well for his god given abilities. I don't really mind clinching as some do but will admit that clinching is a part of Hatton's arsenal.

In short, everyone likes to pick on Ruiz either because they hate watching him, they hate his ability to get title shots, and the fact that he has been on the recieving end of one of the quickest knockouts in history (Ruiz/Tua).
Alright, I'll give you all that........but.......Ruiz isn't even really part of anything right now. Why bust the guys balls? Don't ge me wrong, I'm not trying to start s**t with you but it looks like your getting all worked up about a guy nobody is willing to defend anyway. If you need to vent, then by all means, I too know what it's like to be stressed and needing to take it out on someone. My problem is, I keep taking it out on Lewis and mayweather. Many SCs to show for it )
