    You see, the trick to this poll is that Ruiz fought the "names" while Cotto fought prime fighters. So you COULD make an argument that Ruiz fought washed up "name" fighters whereas Cotto fought the fresher comp. Still voted for Ruiz though.

    THAT... is true. If Tua-Arreola fell through, I think Holy and Tua should duke it out considering that Holyfield will never retire.

      Yeah, after Tua just blitzed Ruiz like that, he became very cautious and was never the same after that. He was broke in a way and became a hugger becuase of it.

          Aww man, I wouldn't want to see Holyfield fight Tua at this stage, Evander takes too many punches and David can still bomb.

                  I voted for Cotto just because Ruiz fought some of those past their prime.

                    Holyfield UD Tua...

                    And if that fight ever happens I will bet you all my points that Holyfield will beat him. Still doesn't mean he'll beat the top 10 HW's though.

                      Ruiz right now, give Cotto a few more years.
