      Fitzsimmons > Roy Jones. Bob wasn't handed belts for one.

        let's not get racial, mate

        jones wasn't handed anything at any point in time (he might've made it seem that way though, so i kinda understand where you're coming from)

          Jones got handed vacant belts. Wasn't his fault, but the fact remains.

          PS. I think Jones was an extraordinary athlete, but people seriously ovverate him.

              I just remember with all the pre fight hype most of the boxing analysts were picking Ruiz to win
