    Second on my list to the win over Toney. But still incredible.

    Moving up three divisions, then skipping a fourth to go to heavyweight, and STILL being outweighed by 26lbs! Christ, that was a great performance.

      Ruiz is still competing for a HW title 7years after Roy completely dominated him speaks on how good the win actually was. Ruiz has a very decent HW resume, hes not the powderpuff people make him out to be.

            I was amazed at how big ROY was!

              Yeah, I remember being stunned when I saw him walk toward the ring. And Ruiz STILL outweighed by about four weight classes .

              If you watch the fight again - compared to his previous bouts - you can see that Jones lost a lot of speed with the move up.

                I would have liked to see Roy take on Byrd after the Ruiz win.

                  Roy was a freak

                  Hands down the best fighter of the last 20 years

                    Yea man, it was crazy seeing him at that weight. I'm going to try to find the whole fight somewhere online, its been a minute since I seen it. I vividly remember watching it at a teammates house in college.
