    Ruiz is so underrated here, mainly because of his boring style.

      Ruiz is one of the WORST Hw's champions ever, regardless Roy still held a HW belt which makes him a "world" champ
      Maybe you were asleep for the reigns of:

      Shannon Briggs
      Bruce Seldon
      Bruno
      Brewster

      etc. etc. etc.

          ugh, I think I blacked out on Herbie.

          Ruiz for whatever he was had a lot of quality wins. Over a lot of people. So he isn't anywhere near the worst.

          now if you are saying Worst to watch?? yeah I'll give you that.


          I remember when Kirk Johnson was supposed to destroy him for example. What happened there? Kirk was highly touted as having way more skill. Somehow he couldn't do **** to Ruiz (although again that was just about the ugliest fight you'll ever see)....

            Yea, I may be blinded by my Hate of him, I still get excited when I watch Tua blast him out in 1 round. He actually has an ok Resume he beat McCline, Rahman, Golata, Johnson, Tucker and a wayyy past it Holyfield.

            But seriously he's just soo awful to watch.

              No i agree. I hate his guts.

              But as a champ he wasn't that bad given his record and skill and what he did. That's all I'm saying.

              He doesn't belong with clowns like Herbie Hide.

                He beat a pretty damn good HW to get the WBA Belt from. A HW that beat Holyfield to get the Belt from. Lennox Lewis was 6'5 250lbs and Roy was like 195 for the Ruiz fight I don't care what anyone said he had his hand sin his pockets the whole time of the weigin and till this day I still think he had weights in his hand or around his ankles....Lefty

                  Nobody is saying Roy was a heavyweight champ, he was a title holder though.
