Roy Jones Jr. winning a HW title.

[powerpuncher]

Ruiz is not the worst HW title holder ever. Like I said before, he was more boring than bad. He had a good resume. He beat some pretty good fighters over his career and gave some other fighters a tough time.

He was in no way great, but there were definitely some worse title holders.

Ruiz was never a dangerous heavyweight, which I think is a massive factor with all heavyweights. An all-time great like Holyfield wasn't a dynamite puncher but in his pomp had more than enough skill/speed/crack to hurt giants and beat the crap out of fellow heavyweights.

If you claim Ruiz had a good career after losing to Roy then Toney stopping Holy is even more impressive, he made him look like a mug. Yes Holy was a fossil, but afterwards he arguably beat Valuev, half-a-dozen years later, Rahman and Oquendo. His form as a fossil matches up with Ruiz post-Roy.

Roy did mention fights with Tyson and maybe Holyfield at the time after his defeat of Ruiz.
