Heavyweight Report Card 2005

Yeah but to his credit, he did fight Toney and Tua, then said no mas. He didn't deny rematches or take Toney to court BEFORE he fought. I'm not saying Ruiz was good for the HWT division but his mentality was. Do you really think Rahman or Byrd would have taken the fight?

i call him chris the duck byrd for a reason, and not for the jingle of the name.

i wont even dignify rahman by talking about him.

ruiz is willing to fight anyone cuz as the saying goes "beggars cant be choosers". people know its bad to be in the same ring with him, thats why people dont like to fight him.

and i seriously doubt that fighters like to get cheated as they do against the bum ruiz.

To be fair, if someone had gone up against Toney when they were juiced and he sued, I don't think we'd have a problem. Never held that against Louise...

no it's not gay if it gets you some i'm not going to sit and try to take anything away from ruiz . he did what he needed to do to win or keep his title thats what he supposed to do . he's just not fun to watch thats all

After tonight, I think it's possible that the dominant heavyweight over the next few years will never have to fight for the WBA title. And good riddance.

Valuev is now the weakest heavy out there. If Wlad can hold up (and Nicolai doesn't seem that hard a puncher, so he might) he should take him out quite easily.
