Jones was full of hot air and shit
He ws also supposed to fight Douglas but backed out after his dad called it a stupid idea, he was also supposed to fight Holyfield and chickened out of that too.
In fact his pulling out of fights had Tarver draw a cartoon of Don King dragging Jones to the ring tied up to fight Ruiz because everyone thought Roy would pull out of that too.

Roy dominated Ruiz?
Who hasnt, Toney did it better and so did Tua.
Roy never fought Tyson because Tyson had fast hands and a genuine big punch.
Mike would have loved the opportunity to whale away at Roy while he sat on the ropes and Mike wouldnt have been befuddled by Roys crap defence of putting earmuffs on and standing straight up, a nice uppercut would have launched Roy out the ring![]()

The douglass fight was mentioned after roy just got to LHW from 168, and it was possibly too early...The holyfield fight didn't happen because Holy lost to lennox, then ruiz beat holyfield. So he fought Ruiz who was a alphabet title holder, much smarter than fight lennox lewis...
the fact that you're suggesting Roy is a "chicken" for not fighting heavy's is flat out disliking for a great fighter. Roy started at 154, was still bascially too small for 174 but managed to stay there for most of his career.
Him being chicken for not fighting professional heavy's when he's 30+ pounds smaller than them probably the dumbest shit I've heard on here in a while. And since you mention Tarver, he gained all his muscle for a fucking movie, then came back down and was torn up by bernard hopkins a man smaller than him. And after the fight he clearly realized what Roy went through but still managed to beat his ass but Tarver couldn't bring himself to admit it on television because he knew it would take away his only claim to fame..his victories over Roy. At least Roy gained a HW title for putting his body through that..tarver just got exposed...

Roy is a small man that walked around near his fighting weight. So any weight that he would put on would be muscle. He had mickey working with him for that fight..he only put on 19 pounds in six months. that's not that unbelievable considering that all he had to worry about about was working out. It's not like he had a day job or anything. I mean two a day workouts, and he didn't run as much in prep for that fight, that's easy for a professional athlete. 3 pounds a month.
