He was already very undersized in that weightclass and it's the only weightclass where a gigantic weight difference is legal so he'd be facing an ATG SHW.

Why exactly did Roy Jones Jr not fight Lennox Lewis after defeating Ruiz?

Lennox is much bigger than Ruiz and much more skillfull.
Size is one thing to overcome as is skill, but overcoming size and skill is a motherfucker for a smaller man.

because tarver got into his head at the ruiz post fight press conference. I maintain that if roy never lost those what, 20lbs of muscle, at his age to go back down to LW he would have made more noise at HW. he was never the same roy after he lost that weight.
