    Should Roy Jones Jr Have Dropped Back Down To LHW when He Beated John Ruiz?

    I think roy should have Stuck to the Heavyweight Division when he Won the W.B.A Heavyweight Title in 2003 either then after the fight when he beated John Ruiz he dropped back down to Light Heavyweight division to fight Antonio Tarver and winning in the 1st Fight by Majority Decision but then in the second fight a KO loss but Roy also said that he felt weight drained in that fight against Tarver..so my question is how do you think he would have done if he had stuck in the Heavyweight Divison? do you reckon he would have done good in that division?

        Jones was too small to compete with the likes of Tyson, Lewis and Vitali, he should of retired after beating Ruiz, but hindsight is always 20/20 as they say

              He would not have done good, the only relevant HW he could have beat was Ruiz, Jones knew it, that's why he dropped back down after that fight.

                It is hard to say really. he should of either retired of had one more fight in the HW division.

                  Im glad he dropped down to fight Tarve. We got to see his heart in that first fight.

                    no way should he have been ****ing with the top HWs, would've been a bad idea!!
                    CW would've been an option worth concidering, another tittle in another weight class, then move back down to LHW.
                    Or retire on top of the world as a tittlist at HW
