Will Ruiz have any ring rust from his retirment layoff?

I don't think he can come back this time. He did it once after Tua and that was a miracle but to do it again at his age, after a beating like he just took is impossible.

I just hope he retires before he gets serious brain damage. Or those welts turn into life ending liver problems.

Oh what a bunch of crap. A miracle? Since when do miracles happen one after another?

Was Holyfield 1 a miracle? Holyfield II another? Oquendo another? Rahman another? Johnson another? Tucker another? Give me a break! That's all skill so get over it.

I'm not arguing with you. Ruiz was a great fighter. Maybe the best EVER. Its just that age has finally caught up with him.

I'm mean to comeback from the lost to TUA is way more impressive than Muhammad Ali's comebacks (any of them).

And that's not even considering the fact that he also battled back from Terminal Cancer to win the Heavyweight Championship, he's better than Lance Armstrong also.

I just think it's time for him to hang up the gloves. Every fighter has his day, and Ruiz had his. He proved all he had to prove and now it's time for him to move on to ESPN Classic.

No way dude. Because when he becomes 3rd time HW champ he's HOF for sure. He'd be one of how many who did that? That's right.
