completely agree with you and RJJ is my fav fighter of all time but one question i have is.. before john ruiz whens the last time he fought a legimate contender? i mean. i understand the division was shot but he couldve moved down to fight hopkins again when he was at peak of his prime but he kept ducking all the big names and blamed money as an excuse.

going back he fought harding in 2000, vigil hill in 98, griffin 97, toney 94 and hopkins 93 and the rest of the no namers. RJJ is way past his prime and he should stop embarrasing himself and just retire . he shouldnt pick on a welterweight and fight Glen johnson to venge his ugly ugly loss then call it a career
