C'mon now, Cotto is 27 and has been a pro for less than 7 1/2 years. Ruiz is 36 and has been a pro for 16 years.

Ruiz. Not even close. If Ruiz had only fought Roy Jones and Evander it would be superior to who Cotto has faced.

[MWMerlino]

John Ruiz has been beat by many legendary fighters, I can't think of anyone that has faced better competition than Ruiz in recent years...

[slicksouthpaw16]

Ruiz has had a far longer career than Cotto has and even though i don't like Ruiz becuase of what he did in trilogy with Holyfield(crying, grabbing, complaining ect), i must admit that he fought the best of the best and was never really accused of avoiding anyone. I also give him credit becuase he is not the most talented guy in the world but yet managed to get his hands on a title and mutiple times at that. He did it in a boring way, but he did it.

I think Holyfield has the best resume of any active fighters.

[Left Hook Tua]

i love the quiet man!

john ruiz gave as one of the most spectacular fight in recent heavyweight boxing history......
