I wanted Ruiz to go out feeling like he lost the fight. I wanted him exiting boxing knowing how his fights and fighting style bored many people.
Apparently, him and Stone feel they beat Valuev (and rightfully so if you ask me).
This might not be the end of Ruiz and I think if he comes back he will win another belt, because he has that style to give people fits and neutralize his opponents offense and he's fighting in a "weak" era of the heavyweight division.
There is always that glimmer of hope that keeps Ruiz back in the gmae. He was bummed and bitchy after he was defeated by Jones. Embarassed and even retired after Toney beat him. Then Toney's "drug use" opened up his comeback and continued his title reign.
Now he thinks he still deserves to be champion. What would it take to discourage Ruiz from fighting?
