We can only hope.

Can American heavyweight John Ruiz defeat Nicolay Valuev to win the WBA title?

He seems very confident. Chagaev showed Valuev is not invincible. Although I think Valuev will win, Ruiz has a chance of coming away with a close decision if his work rate is high enough. Being in Germany is no advantage to Valuev, because the crowd always roots against him, so the judges will not be swayed to favor the giant.

Sad that I didnt realize Ruiz was american

Goes to show how unimportant he is
