Roy Jones Jr. vs John Ruiz Equal to Pacquiao vs Cotto?

[Toney Loc]

Pacquiao is also alot better then Quintana.

I'm going to have to disagree with that. Pac has an insane combination of speed, power, and athleticism. Quintana has better boxing skills than Pac.

thats how heavy weights fights are. tyson and holyfield were much smaller than all their opponents.

That's great... but Roy was never a heavyweight, and his last fight was at 175lbs... so uh, yeah.

[THE REED]

People talk about how putting on weight can really effect a fighter.

Well Roy put on 20 POUNDS... and then was STILL outweighed by 30.

SMH @ people only saying Ruiz was ****, as if their aren't a lot of other factors involved.

The only thing Cotto has in common with Ruiz is that they're both Puerto Rican.

[Playboy Floyd]

True

But Ruiz wasn't gonna touch him.

Manny is much faster at this stage than jones, but jones was small enough to be too quick for Ruiz. Manny was fast even for lightweights and he's much younger than Jones when Jones fought John Ruiz.

thats why I mean Pac ain't no real welter weight and pac has also moved up a lot in weight. There's some similarities thats all.

[Toney Loc]

LOL, so far Pac/Cotto has been compared to Hopkins-Trinidad, Hagler-Hearns, Leonard-Hearns, and now Ruiz-Jones.

[MANGLER]

No. Cotto>>>>>>>>>>>Ruiz.
