That is why when I heard Jones was going to fight Ruiz I thought, ok Jones will become the first middleweight to win a heavyweight title. But I still think beating Ruiz makes that claim much much much less than had he beat a Tyson or Holyfield obviously. Toney and Jones both took on Ruiz since they knew he was the lighter puncher of all the champs they could fight and not aggresive. Worked well for them. Toney could have beaten Ruiz without the steroids. Hopkins could have moved up and beat Ruiz. Most top guys like Hopkins or Toney or Jones could.
