Remember they used to walk Tyson out there monthly or more just to keep him in the gym and out of trouble!
Lol. Yep. They tried to keep Tyson out of trouble and they tried to keep Bowe from getting too fat!

Hasim Rahman versus Lennox Lewis?
Tyson Fury versus Wladimir Klitschko?
Bernard Hopkins versus Felix Trinidad?
Antonio Tarver versus Roy Jones Jr.?
Lamon Brewster versus Wladimir Klitschko?
Corrie Sanders versus Wladimir Klitschko?
Carlos Baldomir versus Zab Judah?
Ricardo Mayorga versus Vernon Forrest?
Bernard Hopkins versus Kelly Pavlik?
Marcos Maidana versus Adrien Broner?
Glen Johnson versus Roy Jones Jr.?
I'd go with Rahman vs Lewis and tarver vs Jones but not the rest but they were both just one punch landing to cause a ko where as Ruiz was beating AJ before the stoppage similar to Douglas vs Tyson

It's my favorite upset.
I love that AJ and Wilder lost a fortune by ducking each other.
I wish I could have seen Hearn's face after the stoppage.
Yep, I have to agree with that. Sick and tired of their endlessly delaying the handful of good fights that could be made.

He had just gotten off of the Dimintrenko training camp and fight, so he pretty much never stopped training for couple of months.
I hadn't thought of that..
Ruiz is obviously one of those guys who needs to keep busy.
The problem for him now is that now he is champion, he's going to be fighting twice a year, 3 times tops if he keeps hold of his belts.

He may be a fighting champion, who knows. Depends on who holds the strings. I don't imagine a very long reign anyway. Kudos to him for his performance, but I think it was more a flawed AJ than a world beater Ruiz.
