Should Johnny Ruiz go down in the hall of fame instead of Holyfield, Lewis and Tyson?

[AintGottaClue]

we can go to hall of shame

ruiz can punch pretty damn hard and has a great jab.. if you look close he only hug usally after the straigt right or the hard jab sometime boring is brilliant in boxing ..he is underrated and smart in the ring ..james toney gone be shocked by his power.. he dont use his legs like roy did

Yeah, I agree, I think Ruiz's power is underestimated. Yes, he does hug like a Somalian in Canada, but he knows how to win. I still don't like him though.

that huggign john ruiz does is cheating and im surprised he has never been DQ'd, when a boxer lunges at u to grab and hold on u its called holding and u get points taken away and disquilfied for it. at least that how i see it but ref's have been calling them clinches for some reason, u dont lung and try to grab someone in a clinch, a clinch happen usual when 2 fighters r in the inside adn one wants back out so he locks up with the other till the ref breaks. john ruiz most of the time does not do that

I think Ruiz is not worthy yet of the HOF. Nonetheless, he will probably be because of being the first hispanic. Regardless he should get some credit for having found a boring, but effective, style that keeps his bank account growing. We will see after Tooney

he dont loose points cuz hes the one always throwing the punches when he hugs so his opponets cant counter and james toneys a counter puncher hmmmm

Apologies.... putting the words "John" and "Ruiz" together is the laziest way to generate a wind-up thread; in fact, it's the first one in the book, just ahead of "Was Frank Bruno a better boxer than Muhammad Ali?" (Damn, I wished I'd saved that one...)


I'll try and be more inventive next time, wind-up fans!
