Roy Jones went to Heavyweight to fight Evander Holyfield. That was his priority but the fight couldn't get made.
After Ruiz beat Holyfield, Roy Jones fought Ruiz.
The only other fight that he wanted at HW was against Mike Tyson, but, that fight couldn't get made either.
So, he then turned his priority to equaling Bob Fitzsimmons record of winning a Title at LHW, going to HW and winning a title then reclaming his title at LHW.
So, that's what he did.

in the case of the ginger vs Floyd, all the ginger has is size... he's not as skilled, nor is he a tremendous puncher. the ginger is easy pickings for Floyd
