Which great fighters has Ruiz beaten? He beat Holyfield when Holyfield was already shot. I don't see anyone else on Ruiz's resume that has ever been "great".
Many a great fighter has fought ruiz only to have Ruiz hig and hold him to a victory.
This fight is more that 50 50 for Vitaly, but if Vitaly cant fight on the inside and hold, he is going to start losing rounds.
At this point, I would take any fight that positions Vitali against anyone with a belt to unify the titles. I would like nothing better than for him to knock Ruiz out once and for all. But first he has to beat Williams tonight. I don't like Ruiz style, but I am glad SOMEONE is finally talking about trying to unify the belts other than Vitali. Chris Byrd looking to fight the guys he picked earlier this week was really, really weak.
ruiz would get killed in that fight. klit is to strong and fast for ruiz. even if ruiz tried to hold all night he would still get caught. But that's one fight i would pay, i would love for someone to put an end to ruiz.
Klitschko would split his head open with consistant one-two's all night. This fight may happen at some point although hopefully it will be Danny Vs Ruiz if tonight goes to plan. :D
