De La Hoya demolished Ruelas, and would do the same now. Ruelas had a good career though.

This stuff is becoming pathetic.

I'm with you on this ****!

Having said that, if these older guys can satisfy the commissions as regards their health and fitness to fight, they're entitled to do as they please.

I'm just not interested.

Rafael's balance has always been horrible. Every time he stepped up he got stopped and I doubt that his chin has improved. His brother was better defensively but when Garcia died after his bout he was never the same. Those two guys throw excellent uppercuts.

This is getting too daft to laugh at....the only positive here is a lot of these guys can't hear to make the move!

Dan Goosen is probably turning in his grave right now.
