Why are there no decent fighters from Connecticut???

Just because Ruiz doesn't have a crowd pleasing style doesn't mean his resume is not good... its not great, but it's good.

He lost to Valuev twice. A Valuev that was beaten by a fifty year old Holyfield.

Ok...I have to ask this because this has been on my mind for a while. The way I see it, Las Vegas has become the capital of the boxing scene, due to the casino presence and influx of boxing hopefuls...

I've always regarded Connecticut, which houses two of the world's largest casinos (and stages frequent boxing events) to be its East coast affiliate.

If this is the case, how come Connecticut has NOBODY??? As soon as Chad Dawson broke out of the bowels of the local scene, he got the hell out of CT and moved on to greener pastures.

Connecticut has some fairly sizeable metropolitans. From the past two decades, I can't think of one decent fighter, aside from Dawson (and I think he was actually bred in Florida) to come out of this state, which seems to be such a huge boxing community. There's Bridgeport, New Haven, Hartford.

I grew up in Massachusetts. At least we've had Hagler and Ruiz. Connecticut just seems to breed pansies and nobodies. Why is that?

elvin "***ing" ayala.

i hate ruiz,but he has got robbed a couple of times in his career.his style may be boring as **** but for some reason is very effective.

I live in England and have never been to America so I wouldn't know. But a lot of these things are like this because there isn't much to do there or it is a town that isn't really boxing related if you know what I mean.

I don't know much though...

And let's get one thing straight ... Holyfield technically lost to Valuev as well. We all know that the decision was a joke, but I saw Ruiz' two "losses" to Valuev too and they weren't really losses.

Hey guys...I'm kinda new in here. How do I get my profile picture to show up when I post? It's in my profile, but when I post messages, it doesn't appear below my name. There's gotta be some place where I can select this setting, but I don't know where...
