he will go down as the first latino champ and the only heavyweight to get beat by 2 middleweights, the fact that he beat weak heavys and over the hill heavys wont matter, nuff said.

4 HOF fighters are weak heavies? I dont think so. Ruiz still ranked #4 overall.

John Ruiz has one of the greatest records in boxing history and is a Hall of Famer and will become a 3 time world champion now that he's out of retirement like I knew he would be!

This is why he stands as ALL TIME TOP 5:

1. First and only HW latino champ
2. Former stablemate of Lennox Lewis
3. After loss to Tua in 96 recovered and won NABF championship by TKO Ray Anis in 22 seconds.
4. Defeated Tony Tucker in first defense 1998 by 11 rd TKO
5. Took WBA belt by defeating Jerry Ballard in 4 rds, 1998
6. Defended against Mario Cawley by 4th KO in 1999
7. Defended against Feliz in 1999 with TKO in 7th.
8. Destroyed Thomas Williams in 1999 by KO in 50 seconds.
9. Narrow controversial loss to Holyfield in 2000 after 12 rounds.
10. Ruiz avenges his loss in rematch with Holyfield for WBA world championship by being only the 2nd fighter in history other than Bowe to KO Holyfield. Wins unanimous decision.
11. Defends in Ruiz-Holyfield III which ends in a draw despite Ruiz having his nose broken in round 1. Ruiz retains belt.
12. Defends against previously unbeaten Kirk Johnson who is DQ in 10 rounds from low blows.
13. Recovers from 2003 loss to Roy Jones by defeating Rahman unanimously in 12 rounds. Becomes 2 time heavyweight champ.
14. Defends against Oquendo and wins by 11th TKO.
15. Defends against Golota.

And lastly…

He's back and will recover from his loss to Toney by winning a belt for a 3rd time guaranteeing his rightful place in the Hall of Fame! True champions always fight back from setbacks. Nobody is as fearless as Ruiz!

You are an idiot, and John Ruiz is also an idiot. U forgot to mention beaten by 2 former Middleweights. Toney vs Ruiz showed just how pathetic Ruiz is at boxing, if he doesn't hug his way into a title, there is no way he can win because he has no boxing skill. Ruiz is ****, I hope he comes back and gets KTFO by anyone decent.

Ha. Beat by one middleweight who dropped his belt rather than take a mandatory rematch.

Then Toney takes drugs to win and Ruiz gets his belt back.

That's why Ruiz the real champ!
