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

[BadMagick]

John Ruiz is a joke, and Jones didn't dance on him much. If Toney can break his nose in the second round, he should have a shot at winning.

if John Ruiz gets inducted into the boxing hall of fame i'm burning the place down.

Think about it... look at the records and the behind the scenes wrangles...


Tyson has a legitimate loss and a DQ to Evander Holyfield.

Ruiz is 1-1-1 with Holyfield, and many think he won two.


Tyson paid Lewis $4 million dollars not to fight him.

Lewis ducked Ruiz.


It took Lewis two attempts to beat Rahman - Ruiz did it in the first attempt.

Lewis and Tyson fought a Golota drugged up and injured... Ruiz fought him on form.

Since Ruiz was established, his only losses were when he was distracted by a divorce and a lucky punch.


All the other belt holders are avoiding him.



So should Ruiz go down in the Hall of Fame as the best heavyweight of the last two decades? Surely his record speaks for itself?

What do others think?

well i'm sure the pretender and a few others would like to see him entered into the hall of fame

[The Pretender]

This is a good thread and makes valid points. Ruiz is more deserving to be inducted into HOF than Holyfield or Tyson. Not to mention he beat 4 HOF fighters.

i think he should go down in the hall of fame for the simple fact that he has developed a way of winning fights a guy with his ability should have no chance of winning. i think ruiz is an inspiration to those of us who are not gifted in life but work hard and make the most of what we've got. so for that reason he deserves a place

i truly believe thats^ the reason he should be included, i honestly believe that, however it shouldn't be at lewis, tyson and holyfield's expence of course.

What? Name anyone of repute that Tyson beat in the last 10 years. Compare to Ruiz great record. End of story.
