David Tua vs John Ruiz (Who is the greater/should go down as greater heavyweight)?

[Tony Trick-Pony]

Why is the word "GREAT" even in this thread?

[STREET CLEANER]

Once Ruiz brutally KOed by Tua he went to his hit and hold style.

Ruis was more accomplished than Tua so he had the better career of the two

Historical fantasy matchup... John Ruiz vs Henry Akinwande... Good you imagine the hugging in this fight?

Tua gets my vote as he was definitely the superior fighter. That, and I'm bias, because it was watching David Tua when I was a kid that hooked me into this sport.

Ruiz is a fantastic example of why holding a belt shouldn't carry huge weight in an argument about who is better. Good fighter, a really good fighter, but I can't put him over Tua just because he had a strap.

The Tuaman took 10 years off Ruiz's life.
