    We all know Jones did fight at HW (once)..We also know he scraped the bottom of the HW barrel in fighting Ruiz, So what happens to the X self renound P4P best fighter in the world jumps up to HW and fights not what you would call biggest HW ever ( in fact pretty close attributes if you look em up)..So what happens to Roy against A guy hes never seen the likes of once and for.

    :patsch, Ruiz is NOT the bottom of the barrel.

    Besides Tua, no one else beat Ruiz as easy as Roy Jones until Haye fought an extremely shot Ruiz that didn't have his old trainer anymore, and Haye did it with a lot of rabbit punching.
    (Stoney retired after the Valuev fight from boxing)
    Also Tua and Haye were getting outboxed by Ruiz until they landed. :hey

    Roy Jones - Frazier is not a good style match up for RJJ.
    RJJ gets stopped.

    Frazier had about 25lbs on Frazier which is probably just too much for Roy. The question mark would be whether he could hurt Frazier, he's a great puncher but as he's so much smaller he may not be able to get Frazier's respect. If he can hurt Frazier he could win, he probably can't and hence gets walked through.

    He was 205 against Ali in the first fight, Roy was 198 lbs at fightnight, so 7 lbs difference.

    I'm thinking more prime for prime when Roy was around 185. I'm not sure how well he carried 198 either, might have been a fair bit of none functional muscle there

    Frazier slumps Roy with the first clean shot he lands.

    No light-heavy is getting the best of Frazier. He's one of the worst styles to move up against.

    Ah yes, the masterclass clinic Ruiz was putting on Tua was legendary, until Tua landed that lucky punch.

    Those 20 or 25 pounds would be the least of his worries...no way he hurts Joe!
