    i know toney's not ruiz mandatory, im just trying to say that valuev and toney are the two fighters that ruiz doesnt want to face.
    I think Ruiz-Valuev is an interesting matchup just because of Valuev's sheer size. I would definetely tune in to watch, even though I haven't seen any of Ruiz's current fights for obvious reasons.

      if u havent seen any of ruiz's fights, ur not missing anything worth watching. if ruiz did defend his "title" against vaulev, vaulev would absolutely maul ruiz. ruiz has to rely on his bulk and clinching to wear down his opponents. he cant do that to someone whos bigger, ecepecially bigger like valuev.

      valuev by late round TKO.

        John Ruiz
        1. Hasim Rahman
        2. James Toney
        3. Lanc Whitaker
        4. Mont Barrett
        5. Nicolay Valuev
        6. Corri Sanders
        7. Andrew Golota
        8. Jameel Mccline
        9. Faruq Saleem
        10. Owen Beck
        11. Larry Donald
        12. Gerald Nobles
        13. Wladimir Klitschko
        14. Lua Krasniqi
        15. Sinan Samil Sam
        Isn't it odd thay the WBA would rank a fighter (Toney) that's suspended?

          Even though I'm not a Ruiz fan, he somehow always seems to come up with the "W." He's beaten good opposition such as Holyfield, Rahman,Golota, and Frez, so I wouldn't be surprised if he wins against this giant. Ruiz by UD.

          By the way, where's the Pretender?

            hes gone, wherever he is, he should stay there, you know... away from us.

            golota beat ruiz but lost the decision. holyfield was FAR past his prime and only lost to ruiz once. rahman is a bum. oquendo is a bum. ruiz keeps talking about how hes the best, he beat the best in the division. ruiz is just a bladder full of hot air.
