Hopkins is a great win - but Hopkins hadn't hit his peak then and would have been a much tougher fight about five years later. Toney was fucked from making weight. And John Ruiz is John Ruiz.

He should have spent the years from 1993-2000 fighting the elite of the Brits and Europeans, rematching Hopkins and showing us how great he really was.

And now the guys is just smoke and mirrors. He makes some punk excuse for why he lost to Tarver in the third fight (I didn't want my daddy to get the credit if I had won!?!?!)


He is a shot fighter choosing all the right opponents - Prince Badi, Hanshaw and a blown up Tito, while calling out Calzaghe.

The minute he steps up in class he's getting sparked again.

Roy Jones was a sensational fighter, but he wasted his prime and I'm sick of his bullshit and showboating. The sooner someone starches him again and retires his a** for good the happier I'll be.
See i don't understand when people say Hopkins was green, but forget the fact Jones had even less fights. They also forget Toney was top 3 P4P fighter at that time. And they also forget the other quality opponents Jones beat like.

Julio Cesar Gonzalez
Reggie Johnson
Eric Harding
Virgil Hill
Montel Griffin
Vinny Pazienza
Thulani Malinga

Eubank would have never have fought Jones in USA and he even admitted he didn't want to fight Jones because he knew he would lose. Benn was going to fight Jones but he lost to Malinga, Calzaghe wasn't even champion yet. So who are all these Europeans Jones could have fought ??
