of the last 10 years. he beat holyfield who is one of the all time greats, which makes him an all time great. he finds a way to beat everyone, as he has proved in the past.

john ruiz should be inducted in the h.o.f.

Um him and Byrd have the best resumes outta of the champs at the moment, that can't be denied. However, I don't think he'll ever be a HOF caliber guy. He wins though, so who knows :(

Yea and he was the guy who beat Jones because he put the bait out for Jones to step up and he knew Jones would have to step down and would have a problem with making the weight

In terms of skill, Ruiz is one of the WORST fighters ever to hold a belt. He wins by fouling. Lucky for him he is protected by a powerful promoter and one of the most annoying blowhards ever to manage a fighter (Norman Stone).

Ruiz will ALWAYS lose to someone like Jones.

Ruiz holding a belt is testament to how weak the heavyweight division is right now.

He would beat the guy in you're avatar

Doubtful. The guy in my avatar is Pai Mei. He is nearly impervious to all external damage. Forget about hitting him low too. He can retract his testicles at will.

I mean, he killed the head abbot of the Shaolin temple!!!! Ruiz has nothing on him.

Ruiz is straight ass. If a referee stopped him from "man hugging", it would be over. He cant throw combinations, which is why he hugs(which is illegal). No Don King=Ruiz looking like he did against David Tua every ****ing time he fights. He wouldnt get away with that **** if Don King didnt have a red dot on the referee's chest.

****in A bro.

ruiz would beat a prime ali

Only if Norman Stone shoots Ali before hand. Then maybe.

i think Ruiz can make the H.O.F he is, and have been a champ for a while now. unless someone can beat him and bad, he will make it.

Ruiz vs. Toney is the heavyweight fight I want to see.

You might as well call for the induction of Mike Weaver, Tony Tucker and Riddick Bowe then.

I DONT THINK RUIZ IS GOOD ENOUGH THEN BYRD AND VITALI, FIRST OF ALL RUIZ AINT GOING TO WIN ALL 2 BELTS FROM BYRD AND VITALI, BUT BYRD AND RUIZ COULD BE GOOD, BUT WHAT U SEEN BYRD DO TO TUA, MCCLINE, WITH THOSE FLURRIES OF JABS. RUIZ WOULDNT LAST 3 ROUNDS.. RUIZ KNOCKOUT IN THE 5 ROUND

You might as well call for the induction of Mike Weaver, Tony Tucker and Riddick Bowe then.

riddick bowe should make it, he has only lost 1 fight in his career.

Ruiz vs. Toney is the heavyweight fight I want to see.

that would be an easy fight for Toney. Like RJJ vs ruiz

riddick bowe should make it, he has only lost 1 fight in his career.

You have very LOW standards for who should be inducted in the HOF then.

Now That Fight I Would Love To See Toney Vs Ruiz Toney Would Kill Ruiz In 2 Rounds Ko

You have very LOW standards for who should be inducted in the HOF then.
seriously. I hate watching him fight, and i definitely can't imagine how anyone thinks john ruiz deserves hof status

He fights like a black bear with down syndrome. He has footwork like Long John Silver (a peg leg).

He fights like a black bear with down syndrome. He has footwork like Long John Silver (a peg leg). Against the right opponent his fights make you drowsy. Against the wrong opponent, you either want to vomit, or smash the TV.

Nice comparisons. I'm gonna laugh when i think of those while watching him fight now

he is awful to watch, but he gets the job done.

obviously he aint no h.o.f. material, he just got lucky and came in the right era. now bowe, i dont see why he shouldnt be considered, he beat everyone he faced, holyfiled twice. he should have fought lewis and tyson though.

hes come back, it would be intresting too see him fight by vitali.

this whole thread is a joke right? Ruiz in the hall of fame :eek: Keep Pete Rose out of the Baseball Hall and put John Ruiz in The Boxing Hall? The world as we know it is coming to an end.


Weaver would have laid out The "Nyquil" man. Tucker and Bowe would have boxed circles around him. He is pathetic period! Don't give me this "he beat Vander" crap. Who hasn't beat Vander lately. Beating Vander has made people believe a fat middleweight will clean up the heavyweight divison. :D They shouldn't even let Ruiz go there to visit.

John Ruiz is good and he annoying as hell to watch. I hope someone
beats his ass into retirement.

Did you deliberately forgot to mention: he got killed by a one eyed blond girly!? ;)
