BTW let me correct some our British posters in saying Ruiz was NEVER HW world champion. Ruiz was a WBA title holder
in an era of 3-4 titlist
Brilliant, then Vitali who has only ever held one of the belts was/is not HW champion. Larry Holmes only ever held one version of the title when there were 3 titlists, he must not have been a HW champion.
Absolutely. Thompson on the other hand had momentum from the two Price fights and plenty on this board thought he could beat Pulev. Thompson is also a better fighter than Ruiz, btw.
Not really that clear cut is it. Ruiz resume is far far better than Thompson, and Ruiz resume isn't that great his biggest wins are an past prime Holyfield, Tony Tucker, McCline, Golata and Rahman.
Thompsons notable names are Price, Kraniqi and Chazz Witherspoon.
Ruiz came out of retirement you idiot...he was pushing 40 and was inactive. That is science. You jacked off over that.
I said I predict that Sergey kovalev would go on to be the light heavyweight ever...its a prediction am I not allowed to make predictions..so far its looking good very early on in his career. Have you never predicted who win the premiership before a ball kicked?
I said its the best heavyweight division ever...people agreed with me and I gave the stats and facts of the sizes and weights, and all the new countries(including the eastern block and cuba) that now enter boxing..that didn't even exist in Ali and co era. Again they ae facts you cannot refute.
Pulev has been inactive for over a year against Americas best heavyweight in Thompson, whos just beaten Our best propect.
Now get the hell off my thread.
Don't say another goddamn word. Up until now, I've been polite. If you say anything else--word one--I will kill myself. And when my tainted spirit finds its destination, I will topple the master of that dark place. From my black throne, I will lash together a machine of bone and blood, and fueled by my hatred for you this fear engine will bore a hole between this world and that one. When it begins you will hear the sound of children screaming--as though from a great distance. A smoking orb of nothing will grow above your bed, and from it will emerge a thousand starving crows. As I slip through the widening maw in my new form, you will catch only a glimpse of my radiance before you are incinerated. Then, as tears of bubbling pitch stream down my face, my dark work will begin. I will open one of my six mouths, and I will sing the song that ends the Earth.
The fighter makes the belt not the other way around. British media and some posters like to skew there words in order to make someone look better than they are. Ruiz former 2 time world HW champion sounds better than reality. Former 2 time WBA titlist!!!!
