I always imagined the "first Latino heavyweight champion" would be so much cooler, like a massive Roberto Duran. Instead we got this hairy barnacle.
Hang on a minute..........you guys are holding out for a hero, but hold the line, you're all clinging to some age old stereotypes. John held the belt and that's all that matters. Don't know why you're all leaning on him like this. Grabbing at straws.
While he was champion I saw him in the mgm lobby during a major fight weekend Standing there by himself for what had to be half an hour. Boxing fans flooding the city. Not a single person approached him for an autograph or picture Very telling
Definitely, not a pretty style (but had some decently entertaining scrap) but was more willing to suffer than most to get the W.
John Ruiz was crap. And to the extent he was ever effective, he relied entirely on holding and hitting - something he wasn't allowed to do against RJJ.
He did become the first Latino to win a HW championship. Having said that calling him the hw champ is a bit of a stretch.
It was disgusting and shameless . That took away 80% of Ruiz's arsenal. That bum would either maull, club or smother you with his hairy man boobs. Ofcourse Roy's referee was bought and paíd for to make sure Roy got that historic win. The sad thing is Johnny was such a mediocre scrub Roy probably would've beat Ruiz fair and square without cheating. And yes having a crooked referee is cheating imo. Roy got the special Mayweather ref treatment.
