heres an interesting thought reguarding roy jones

[Trainer Monkey]

The whole reason he chose Ruiz was he has powder puff hands

The whole reason he chose Ruiz was he has powder puff hands

Plus he has slow feet and hands.

And a slow workrate.

Also he is not a good boxer overall.



Total crap really!

I lost alot of respect for Jones when he booked that fight,if he had gone for one of the other champs,even if he had lost,Id have respected his effort

[TeleTuff]

Ah,I know Iam new here,but perhaps I have missed something?Have you guy`s seen Ruiz`s fights?....Slow hands,slow feet,clinching like crazy,or whatever the one thing Ruiz can do is Punch with the Right hand,just ask Evander,who looked to be in more hurt at the hands of Ruiz in I believe the second fight,than I had ever seen Holy before.Not to mention Ruiz as God-awful as he style is to watch,it had proven to be quite effective against most of the top Heavy`s at the Time,,Holyfield,Rahman,Golota,Brewster,and others lost to Ruiz,But not Jones.Regardless if Ruiz was A considered to be A weak Champion or not,he had gained his status through his victories eventhough they were hard to watch.IMO Jones deserve`s credit for his victory over Ruiz

[Spicoli]

.......Shite. As much of a non Jones Jr. fan as I am,As mentioned above,He should get his props for beating up the fugly style but none the less pretty effective Ruiz.May have been a terrible career choice,drained him coming back down but Ruiz was fat betty ugly effective.


Forgot the initial question.....No.An 87' Tyson wrecks Jones,badly.Alot is made of Jones speed but Tyson was very fast of hand and shifting stance early.Jones could not hurt him.

[TeleTuff]

Yeah,I agree.It`s been said that Jones won the Heavyweight Title,and lost his carear,Prob alot of truth in that,although Jones was Due for A legit loss or two by that time,noone stays on top 4ever.Tyson,and Roy Prime4Prime.....?Good fight until Tyson catches Roy,It is possable Roy could avoid Mike for 12,but then it would`nt be A good fight,Right?So while were dreaming,I pick Tyson by Mid Round KO.

[ICB]

I think people are forgetting what the boxing experts were saying about Ruiz vs Jones. They considered it to be a good even fight and some even thought Ruiz would be way too strong for Jones, Ruiz may not be one of the better Heavyweights no one is saying that, but Jones deserves all the credit in the world for winning Heavyweight title, considering it hadn't been done in 106 years.

Roy should never be expected to fight heavyweights really.

His win at heavy is really irrelevant to his legacy.
The very fact that he is mentioned in the same sentence as good heavies illustrates exactly how dominant he was at the lower weights.

Those powder puff hands dropped Holyfield and knocked Fres Oquendo out cold. Both were decent heavy weights at the time too. Particularly Oquendo.
