Disputed or not, thank God Ruiz no longer has the title. Watching him fight puts you to sleep faster than Nyquil.

I'll have the roast duck, with the mango salsa.

12/18/2005 1:57:35 PM

I'm not hungry.

*stares*

12/18/2005 2:08:38 PM

"I don't have much of an appetite thank you."

m4r|<0 get it right

12/18/2005 2:09:25 PM

I want to see him fight Ivan Drago


I defeat REAL champion! If he dies...he dies

12/18/2005 2:10:05 PM

my first inclination was "i don't have an appetite"

but it still wouldn't have been right

12/18/2005 2:11:15 PM

dont feel bad, it might have just been thanks and not thank you

12/19/2005 12:12:04 AM

jesus i bet this guys reach is incredible

12/19/2005 12:24:41 AM

fucking freak

12/19/2005 12:27:52 AM

Fighting him looks like mike tyson punch out guy. That guy would have to jump to hit him

Can we say experimental growth hormone project? You couldn't make up a better movie-esque russian boxer.

12/19/2005 12:41:42 AM

i think the best part is ruiz's manager got popped by the russian's manager

12/19/2005 12:43:42 AM

Did anyone see the highlists where the losing manager stole the belt?

He sets his goals high. Sounds like he is just as surprised as everybody else.

12/19/2005 12:54:09 AM

Did anyone get to see this fight? I'd want to see it before I believe it was that disputed because every Ruiz fight is ugly and they argue every time they lose. Then again, this is the guy who still called himself a champion after picking up the same title 3 times after someone else was stripped (Lewis, Jones, and Toney).

12/19/2005 9:55:17 AM

he has steel plates in his face

It is the Russians... maybe he was "Russiiiiaaaaaaan-Ukranian" and grew up at Chernobyl.

Or the commies are back and want world dominance in everything... starting with boxing.

Next round: Huge ass deformed Russian Guy vs. Oscar de la Hoya.

^^Or maybe this guy is just the next Andre the Giant. Untouchable unless he is nearly dying. This guy looks like what Andre would have been if he was found by a boxing promoter instead of a wrestling promoter.

12/19/2005 1:45:56 PM

I thought about that too, thinking he may have "Andre the Giant" disease. I don't know what it's called except the person never stops growing, to the point where the body is too big and the heart cannot support it anymore.

If that is the case, I think Vince McMahon would try to sign this guy once he retires from boxing.

12/19/2005 4:34:30 PM

^gigantism

and it's treatable now with hormone therapy or something, iirc.

12/19/2005 5:26:10 PM

yeah, but i think it has to be treated starting at a young age or the treatment won't have as much of an effect...

i mean, he's already 7 feet tall, which pretty much guarentees a shortened life span...

Other than Andre the Giant, sufferers were the guy that played Jaws in 007 movies and the Big Show from current WWE, who was able to have surgery to partially fix the condition.
