Have we seen the last of Ruiz & Stone?

[DiegoFuego]

Ruiz lost twice in 2005 and without a belt to his name, he will have to win a big fight to get another shot. I don't see this happening, so Ruiz may be out for good this time.

As for Norman Stone, I must applaud him for standing up and verbally assaulting Germany although doing it solo might have been a dumb idea. While this decision wasn't the worst German decision by any means, it's time somebody actually protested it then and there instead of waiting to get back to the states.

Ruiz will probably retire. Stone will be around somehow, he just cant resist making a fool of himself in front of millions.

He retired after being humiliated by Toney. This time around, him knowing that he actually won the fight, he might stick around and try to get a rematch with Valuev.

good points

the WBA probly wont allow a rematch seeing as how ruiz has lost the title two times in one year and the fact that ruiz is just ruiz. ruiz and his lawsuits and appeals are ridiculous.

[Dirt E Gomez]

As I stated in a similar thread, Ruiz has a couple of years left in him, or at least a couple of fights. He can get some decent paydays fighting other big contendors without belts or at least getting a rematch against Valuev.

I didn't say they'd be big ones. However, a rematch in Germany would actually probably be pretty profitable. Or if marketed by king correctly in the states it might draw some attention. True boxing fans know better, but not the casual fan of sports.

We can only hope so. Although, in addition to that hope, we can also hope they both die terribly painful deaths together. It sounds to me like little more than they deserve.

[Truth]

I already heard he wants a rematch. Stone is crazy.
