Lennox would have stopped Jones in 4 or 5
Roy Jones Jr would never have fought Lewis. He is six foot five and 200lb plus and was a true heavyweight champ who could box and throw big punches. Jones Jr would have no business against someone like that and he knows it thats why it never happened. It's not right to put Ruiz and Lewis in the same sentence when discussing if Jones Jr could have been a Heavyweight contender. Beating Ruiz is one thing but Lewis is another league.
