I am getting many, many requests to write more about John Ruiz. (Ruiz vs Ali probably the most popular)

I think Jaz Merkin just summed up a great deal. If you have never met John Ruiz, you won't know of this energy he has. If you have met him and you didn't feel it, you must suffer from alzheimer's.

John transcends every human barrier known to man. And he has been hard done by. In 2,000 years, they will talk of John Ruiz and look back at how real men, such as myself, modelled ourselves on John Ruiz, in a non-gay way.

I owe a lot to John Ruiz, boxing owes a lot to John Ruiz, and you owe it to yourself to let him into your heart, in a non-gay way.

Yours in manliness,

John Ruiz is the only great man, who could be robbed like he was against Haye, and still have the class & transcending humility and other worldly qualities to still give credit to his opponent.

He's sadly thinking of retiring, no doubt to cure cancer, save the rainforest or single-handedly repair the hole in the ozone layer.
