Any questions for John Ruiz? I'll be talking to him in a few hours.

He got messed up by Tua and prevented it from ever happening again. Even If it's not pretty it's effective. Like Cory Spinks. Like Bernard Hopkins. Like Ricky Hatton.

Yeah you're right, crazed fanbase and carnival atmosphere aside I actually find his fights just as interesting as Hattons.

Hatton to me is just Ruiz with masses of screaming fans to make a great atmosphere.

Watch him with the sound down and its snooze time

Well actually I was refering to their shared ability to kill a fights action and only awaken it when they feel the need to attack.

Hatton is a much more aggresive fighter and therefore attacks much more frequently.
When viewed together their records may look similar, Hatton having 31 Ko's from 43 fights, Ruiz 29 stoppages from 43 wins, but if you atch their fights it's pretty obvious that Hatton is a much more exciting, aggresive fighter.

Ricky's been fighter of the year, Ruiz would never be awarded that title.
