Great fighter, legend of the sport. I wish him well in his retirement.

do you know what makes an athlete ''great'' ?!?!?

sheesh. if paulie is great AND a legend, then everyone is.

[LetOutTheCage]

not one of my questions answered. he was nothing special or magical. opportunistic as hell though.

anyway

he had to eventually fight dangerous people just like everyone else. no power ?!?!? oh well. want your opponent to wear pillows ?!?!? promise to hold back and limit the mount of times he hits you to less than 10 ?!?!? what concessions do you want to compensate for your lack of power ?!?!?!

Read what I said again and while ur at it answer my questions.

PTI...

soooooo....was he NEVER supposed to fight guys who had more power than him ?!?!? who would have fought then ?!?!?

he wasnt as good as he thought he was. he talked a good game and was able to take pretty good beatings.

idr if john ruiz was ever given a heart felt goodbye.....

How many feather-fisted fighter do you know who have become champions at 2 weights? How many of those have been in so many dangerous fights? Add to that being competitive in those fights? He was Never supposed to fight those guys because he was never supposed to achieve what he did. 16% KO's in his fights, let that sink in.

Maybe you should highlight the rest of my comment before asking you're question..He's great because who he stepped in with despite his obvious deficiencies in the power department. He's given plenty of top fighters a really competitive fight all while knowing he is unlikely to stop them, but they can very well knock him out.

like who? he was mollywhopped every single time. the broner fight was competitive but broner isnt a top fighter in my mind and broner is competitive with just about everyyone. emmanuel taylor, adrian granados, quintero. wow broner fights so many greats!

yes i agree he was neever supposed to be given so many opportunities. he cherry picked 2 belts but how did he even get the opporuntites to cherry pick those belts? from losing to the elite and having a name. sad career.
