Ruiz was so sh!tty, that he wouldn't beat even a solid LHW, unless he was allowed to hold for all the time, like it had always been in his corrupt bouts.

EMM had a try at the HW division and lost bad to Renaldo Snipes. Since he didn't carry the extra weight well, I don't see him having any advantages over Ruiz. The Quiet Man would win a wide boring decision like 118-110.

x2..hate to join this train, but Ruiz was really to boring fights what Arturo Gatti was to action ones..the only fight of his I like is Holyfield 2.

The Tua and Haye fights were quite exciting and very satisfying.

Well, probably. Technically it was better, but formally it happened before Ruiz deserved to be pulverized like that.

I concur with Ruiz using his size, holding and jabbing tactic to take a decision over EMM.

I agree, he was really rubbish. I can't believe he managed to fluke wins over Golota, Oquendo, Rahman, Holyfield and Kirk Johnson.
Don King and the fact of WBA being disvalued helped him.

Ruiz takes the decision in a fight I don't care to see.

Ruiz would win a UD. any version of Eddie above 175 was pretty much a disaster.
