tor hamer was hammering ruiz before he did his usual quit-job. i need a bigger vocabulary!

[pimpgoz]

He will be the one to make history for Mexican boxing fans. Mark my words......

Ruiz is too fat. Chavez Jr is the best hope now

This is boxing not bodybuilding you nerds. Fat or not, the guy got skills, wouldn't be surprised to see him start moving up towards a title shot.

boxing is a sport where you need speed, agility, and stamina and being fat hurts all those areas. you don't see fat guys having success in any other divisions so why is is acceptable at heavy?

[bojangles1987]

He sucks. Arreola would win a title before Ruiz ever does.

[kiaba360]

He still has time to get himself together. He's definitely nowhere near ready for a title shot, and hopefully he steps up the competition soon.

FUTURE MOOB CHAMPION OF THE WORLD!

Move over Arreola, your yesterdays news.

[SN!PER]

Goossen is already in negotiations and has major plans.

"We'll ink about 10-15 Aztec tattoos on his body, market him as "El Muerto," and sit back as Mexican Americans jump on the bandwagon."

"We have our new Arreola, and he's bigger than ever!"
