Comments Thread For: Andy Ruiz Jr invites David Benavidez to the heavyweight division

[Boro]

Benavidez should be at heavyweight and Ruiz and his 5'10 self should be at SMW that's the irony of this post.

Why is that Robb ? Sam Langford was 5 61/2,James Toney 5 9,Roy Jones 5 11,Benavidez is 6 1and a half.Langford started as a Welterweight, Toney a Middleweight, Roy a Supermiddleweight. With today's strength and conditioning and today's "supplements " I see no reason it couldn't reasonably happen. So please explain yourself if you care to.

Roy Jones turned pro at junior middleweight and literally ran John Ruiz out of the ring after he won the Heavyweight Championship of the world

Thanks for the correction .My faulty memory thought Roy started at Supermiddleweight . But yes you’re correct

Who did James Toney beat a heavyweight, a used-up Holyfield who was a blown-up cruiserweight himself.

Roy beat John Ruiz, the absolute worst champion in the history of the division. Is that really even worth mentioning?

Benavidez wouldn't beat Marius Breidis or Joe Opetaia at cruiserweight. Forget about heavyweight.
