could a 168 lbs Roy Jones beat John Ruiz at HW

keep in mind that Ruiz was not allowed to use his phyisical advantages in his fight with Jones because the referee kept splitting them up


id give Jones a good shot TBH

Yeah if the referee is as strict on the inside action as he was then Roy may have been able to potshot his way to a win. I don't think Roy expected Ruiz to be that bad tbh.

Yep Ruiz was pathetic

if holding and leaning on your man is your only ticket to earning a win then you might aswell jack Boxing in

Ruiz might not have much skill but in that current era of heavyweights, he was a top heavyweight. That shows how bad the division was/is.

Yeah I agree. It shows just how poor the division was and still is that he was one of, and arguably still is, one of the top guys.

The thing I dislike most about him is the fact that he would not give Roy a single word of credit after the fight. I can never respect fighters that get the **** bxed out of them and will then go on to blame anything and everything without giving the guy that dominated them a single word of credit.

[MELLY-MEL...]

you have to give roy a good shot just based on what happened in his fight with john.

That is a ****ing puzzle. If Roy beats Joe make that **** happen. LOL.

Ruiz was robbed in their first fight.
