The difference is that there was no foul.

Better competition, but no worth in his this. Holyfield was shot after Lewis and even after that he whooped Ruiz in the rubber-match. The other Ruiz' wins, as I've already said, were corrupt as well. Vitali at least beat everyone convincingly. And his losses weren't that hard. You can't rate fighters only by their achievements/names on papers. You gotta watch whom they defeated and how, what's no less important.
What's so funny about that?

No foul, but still a shameful situation.

A word "beat" is too much in the context of what Ruiz did to Rahman.

Maybe I should rewatch this fight, but I remember it as boring hugging, which could go either way. And that's why I won't rewatch it in the nearest future for sure.

Mike Tyson V Boneclutcher Smith.
Dreadful fight: Smith had no intention of fighting and because Tyson was crap on the inside, he was quite happy to clinch too.
The irony is that the one punch Boneclutcher landed in anger; the massive overhand Right towards the end of the fight hurt Tyson more than he'd ever been hurt at that point in his career.

Stripping Fury then having they two turnips fighting for it was shameful enough never mind what went on in the ring. Martin has to be the biggest farce of a HW champ in history. Nobody will beat that.

Bruce Seldon fell over to order from a glancing forearm.
He even did some body popping after getting up just to make sure the referee called a halt to proceedings.

What about AJ Molina. What a waste of time. Molina was as scared as I've seen a pro in a championship.

If that was an attempt at humour I'm sure you can do a helluva lot better. Sweet Jesus I hope so.
