I know boxing is a physical sport but for this topic, please think of a fighter who's good at messing with his opponents head. It could be before a fight or during the actual fight. Hopkins is good at getting in your head when he frustrates you and adapts to whatever style you show him in the ring. Toney and Mayorga are good at smack talking intimidation before a fight. Just a sample. :D
Ruiz kicked his ass. First person to beat Kirk. He got DQ because he was losing and got frustrated.
uummm no kirk johnson pretty much won every round offically on all judges scorecards before getting DQ'd ruiz was not winning
Good Points TL,
The funny thing is, they were all trying to be 1 time champions. Everytime they regained a title, means they once lost a title. And we all praise them for that.
........????????? Not sure how that works.
BTW how have you been?
Doing good..and you?
I agree, it's a bit messed up, but I think the fighters involved like to focus on the 'winning it back' than the losing it in the first place, which I can understand. I guess being able to regain it means (to them anyway) that they've still "got it"
But we all know keeping that title is the really hard part; much harder than getting it to begin with.
Lol, some of us are still waiting on Ruiz to do those "great" things"!! Being a 2 time champ is very good, but it's been done even more than that. Ali-3 times..Holyfield-4 times. Both deserve an honorable mention if you want to keep bringing up Ruiz's 2 times.

It's good to regain the title but being a "x-time" champ isn't neccessarily good. You have to lose the belt as many times to get it back.
This is true too
Freak KOs like that happen in hw boxing. Any one punch can land just right and lay anyone out.
Ruiz went on from that loss to become 2 time world champ. Where Tua? No where. Losses like that end careers but not Ruiz, because he the true champ and returns to do great things.

Tyson used to beat half his opponents before they even got in the ring. And he didn't even have to say anything.
Today I think Hopkins is pretty good at that
fear leads to intimidation, intimidation leads to defeat, defeats leads to face on canvas

IMO, i would have to say the great julio cesar chavez, he never let all the shit talking affect him, one time on a press conf. the other guy was so upset that chavez didnt really pay attention to his shit talking, it made the other guy furious wanted to fight him right then and there. Dont remember the guys name though.
hmm
Hopkins seems good at it. Roy got into Ruiz's head very well and many other fighters just by his presence. Tyson was an intimidator.
Tarver is not that great at it. He just has good timing in who he fights. Didn't really back up much vs Roy in the 1st fight or against Glen Johnson. It don't take Hopkins two times to beat everybody.\
You saying David Tua is a nobody makes Ruiz look even worse. You're saying that he loss to a nobody in the time it takes one to go take a piss and come back to the TV.
umm no ruiz was losing but won via DQ
haha yeah. KJ won almost every round before being disqualified.

vitali gives his oppenets all the respect in the world so you think hey this guy is pretty nice, untill he hits you with a right, look at kirk johnsons face the first time vitali popped him good he looked done then.
Ali is the best of course
Ruiz the champ.
He is the champ because James Toney failed a drug screen. LOL. How pathetic pretender. You make yourself look really foolish by supporting the worst fighter of all time (arguably).

Ruiz the best because he always underestimated and shows no fear. Opponent gets frustrated and loses their game.
He really got to Tua eh? Looked scared to me. What round did be beat Tua in? Oh wait he got knocked out in 16 seconds.

Johnny Tapia is the best at mental games. He has always been and always will be.
