    As we all know in March of 2003 RJJ had moved up 2 weight divisions to face John Ruiz for WBA belt.

    Which title holder would be on his radar in 2018 and what would be the outcome?

    All 3 of them knock him out cold. There's a reason Jones fought Ruiz, who was small for a HW. Joshua, Wilder and Parker are all significantly bigger than Ruiz.

    All three of them would knock Jones and Ruiz out in the same night!

    I can envision Parker being fast enough to catch Jones. The other two are toss up fights. Tyson Fury would be a nightmare for Jones. He’d outbox Roy and stop him late.

    He wouldn't step in against any of them. To put it in perspective Jones was scared to fight an old Buster Douglas in the late 90s. Ruiz was a mediocre HW, that's why Jones chose to fight him.

    Which is exactly why Toney replicated the feat... Ruiz was a joke. There are plenty of fighters past and present who could have moved up and beaten him.

    Roy has the most disgusting glass jaw I've ever suffered the gross misfortune to lay eyes upon. A new born baby has better punch resistance than he ever did, prime and post prime Roy.

    Roid Jones would not fight any of them, they are too big. He fought a small Ruiz who could not fight......................still could not hurt him and the roids helped, but did not do what he wanted them to do. Roid was going to fight the Klitschkos, but changed his mind, he would have had zero chance!
