    The Ruiz that fought Jones Jr with the same ref - Jay “Don’t daresn’t touch/hurt Roy” Nady?

    If so, I would say it’s all the way with (the real) Sugar Ray!

    Ray’s chin compared to Roy’s hair trigger rock’em’ sock’em’ Robot Chin? Hmmm.

    I actually had those as a kid - in my neck of the woods they were seriously called Battling Bonkers, - a somewhat different connotation than our Brit friends are accustomed to. LOL.

    I don’t wear glasses btw. I have perfect, 20 x 20 nostalgic vision.

    The eye sight test chart only includes thumbnails of ATG fighters up to and including the 1970s. I nail the test every time.

    Probably. Most likely, yes? I am not sure.

    John Ruiz couldn't even handle 190lb Roy Jones Jr.

    Sugar Ray Robinson would toy with him.

    I really hate it when people equivocate, I think, well sorta. I mean, I’m not certain if that’s how I feel, if the feelings are real, which sometimes they’re not, well that’s how I feel anyway, hang on - there I go again, was that last feeling about feelings not being real actually real? I’m not really sure how I feel about any of this.

    I really don't get your point. SRR never weighed that much.

    Ruiz either stumbles and ends up losing a decision, or goes for it and mauls him, for an horrible decision win.
    Not sure this fight would be nice to watch!

    I don't see a scenario where Ray Robinson beats a 245lb professional. I really don't. And yes I firmly believe that Ray is the greatest of all time, bar none.

    Ruiz never did good vs former middleweights.
