    better resume than anyone still around.
    either klitschko would decapitate ruiz, now, in his prime, doesnt matter.

    in my opinion, vitalis performance against lennox lewis was far more impressive than anything ruiz has done in his career. had that been ruiz in there, lewis would have put him out.

    how old is ruiz now, he is about vitalis age right? put him in there with him and see whats up.

          Vitali ducked Rahman multiple times, and Ruiz easily beat him.
          Vitali beat an out of shape Kirk Johnson, Ruiz beat a prime, in shape one.
          does Vitali have any win as good as Ruiz's win over Holyfield?
          McCline dropped Peter 3 times and almost finished him right before Vitali fought Peter. Ruiz one sidedly beat McCline.

          Ruiz pwnts Vitali, and would win via Vitali injury or DQ if they ever fought.

          I can guarentee you that Vitali would never take a fight against Ruiz. hes too afraid! he saw how bad Ruiz hurt Valuev.

            why are you talking about him and vitali or lennox lewis?

            i'm asking...... about resume.

            he has the best resume of any fighter still around. look at who he's fought.

              I would LOVE to see Ruiz being KOed by either Klitschko.

                  it would be pretty hilarious, haha.
                  honestly, its a shame Ruiz couldnt have been Wlad's opponent just for that reason

                    He was my second choice, after Valuev.

                      there is a point where what you do in the ring overshadows your resume, in ruiz's case it was being boring as **** and failing to impress....ever.

                      im talking about vitali because vitali is still around and vitali's (call it a loss but it was more of a loss for lewis than vitali) match with lewis was more meaningful than anything ruiz ever did.
