    I know he will most likely be a hall of famer for what he achieved. I am still disappointed that Roy Jones Jr did not do better with his prime years.
    He should have fought a few more top middleweights before moving up to SMW the only names he fought were Hopkins, Castro & Tate. He should have made room some of the following: Collins, Benn, Eubank, Julian Jackson, McLellan, Otke, Michalchewski, Barkley, and others. If he had made the fights with Benn & Eubank in UK then he would have made more than against the Percy Harris's and Glenn Wolfe's of the world. In preperation for the fight with Ruiz he could have captured one of the cruiserweight belts or even after Ruiz. Regarding the weight I am sure he would have still beaten Ruiz if he had weighed in at 180-185 instead of 193 and the weight and it would not have been such when he came back down, also a tune up prior to Tarver would have been advisable.

    Still he will still be highly regarded but would have been even more so without the losses to Tarver and Johnson !
