Why did Roy jones only fight Ruiz?

[moofo]

Consistent with most Joe fans.

Joking aside, read what I wrote. Everyone was clamoring for a Tarver fight and saying Jones ducked him to go to Heavyweight. Hell I have some Ring magazines, or used to where they were going off on Jones about it.

jones career started at 160. capturing a title at heavy is more than enough of an acheivement.

if thats the case we can ask why floyd fought shot gatti at 140. and flat footed baldomir at 147, old oscar at 154?

In case you missed it, people do question those.


and in case you missed it again,

James Toney fights and beats better heavies than Ruiz.

yea I just think people fail to realize what a big thing it is to win a heavyweight title from any current champion when you start your career at 160.

.....because Roy was smart.

Exactly... he knew his limitations and made history.

[OTSS]

Cause his balls werent as big as my man "Lights Out" Jt took steroids, his balls shrank and they was still bigger than roys. Toney is a man.

Lights Out knows no limitations. He could fight sumo.

No doubt... Yokozoma has nothing on him.

[OTSS]

no Doubt... Yokozoma Has Nothing On Him.

Roy was actually calling out Lennox at one point, and I remember Lennox saying the fight was almost made...which is funny as hell...but Roy only fought Ruiz because he was the only name he could beat. Lennox would have put his head into the cheap seats.
