    Think has to be Jones going up to heavy to take on Ruiz, I mean why?

    Ignoring the inbred above Jones went up to heavy to fight the possibly the worst titleholder ever, which is quite a title, and then dropped back to LHW.
    Did nothing for his resume.

    That fight wasn't pointless. It was historical because Roy started at middleweight. Of course I didn't feel like Ruiz was THE real heavyweight champ though. I'll never get my wish for every division to have only 1 belt. That would make boxing so much better!

    It was pointless for him to drop 20+ of muscle to fight Tarver.. Not winning a title at heavy. Everybody knew his intent was to draw in someone like Iron Mike for a big money fight; he planned to fight again at heavy but just made a horrible mistake in trying to maintain two division titles at once.

    I think it was Floyd vs Gatti. I mean who really thought Gatti had a chance to win.

    Right to be called heavyweight champion?
    Really I thought Lennox Lewis was the man to beat.
    Just about anyone bogus title or not would have been a better fight than ruiz!
    and I could have accepted his choice of oppostion if it was simply a step up to better things at heavy, but he simply went back down in weight, thus pointless. That is apart from providing his huggers the exscuse of having to loose 20 pounds of muscle or whatever.

    Any fight involving Ruiz is pointless. Except the Tua fight, of course. :yep

    You really do not know much about boxing history to claim Ruiz the worst ever, there are far far worse:

    Byrd - yep Ruiz did better against common opponents (except Tua :lol: )
    Damiani
    Rahman - Ruiz beat him
    Valuev - got a gift against Ruiz
    Herbie Hide
    Akiwande
    Shannon Briggs
    Bruce Seldon
    Maskeev
    Bonecrusher Smith
    Tony Tubbs
    Coetzee
    Leon Spinks
    Ernie Terrell
    Willard
    Carnera

    How about more recently Bhop/Winky?

    when this fight was first signed it sounded like a legacy fight ATG vs ATG, but now after its over it just seems both fighters stock has dropped considerably. We are still uncertain whos the current best lightheavyweight.

    I dont know about most pointless, especially considering both were in many peoples p4p lists, but if you started a new thread titled 'most boring fight of all time' it would be right up there ;]
