Roy Jones Heavyweight title

[RichCCFC]

One of the most underrated wins in recent history? John Ruiz was a crap champion but really.. a former Middleweight Champion winning the Heavyweight title... absolutely absurd!

Ruiz was mediocre but I can understand how people can see it as a good win due to the weight and being something no one has done ever. Now if he would of fought Lewis(who was the real champ) and beaten him then no one has any room to hate on that. Unfortunately, that didn't happen.

Regardless of the opponent, the fact a former middleweight fought and won a portion of the heavyweight crown is remarkable.

Fighting and winning the lineal heavyweight title would almost be a fairytale.

Done before by at least 3 other men.

A jr flyweight moving up and winning a welterweight title. Absolutely absurd and more importantly unique.

Not only a middleweight champ, but roy started his professional career at 154 which only adds to the amazing feat.

Not really but that's my opinion and you have yours.

That is why RJJ is a legend and better then that coke head from the UK who slaps people

[Achille]

Definitely something that gets overlooked. RJJ was the first man to do it in 106 years.

Sick! But he was on roids. Confirmed. You know? I almost forget too when I try and explain.
