if Roy Jones retired after beating Ruiz....

[jas]

if he retired after winning the HW belt, where would you rank him on your ATG list?

[sdcluser]

at least top 10?

[BUNGALOWS]

Not in the top 10, but his mystique and legend might surpass some of the ATG legends in the top 10.

He'd the ultimate, "what if?"

I honestly think he'd be the #1 fantasy fighter in boxing history. Since we'd never see him lose to Tarver, Johnson, etc, and we'd never have that image of him ingrained in our head, A LOT of people might call him the GOAT talent in boxing history.

We'd never see how he looked without his uber athleticism, and people would assume he'd retire undefeated regardless of his decline.

No way anyone could rank him anywhere...who on here even has a top 20 list of their own???

Go ahead...

[SlySlickSmooth]

#1 Fantasy fighter except you can't really rank him for rankings in the HW division solely on a Ruiz win.

Go ahead...

sugar ray robinson, ali, ray leonard, hagler, hearns, duran, armstrong, greb, louis, willie pep, mayweather, whitaker, frazier, foreman, lamotta, pacquaio

[MAXIMUS~RICO~13]

I think with time he would be around 8-10.

If RJJ retires after beating Ruiz, he would be ahead of foreman, lamotta, frazier and pacquiao.
