    Roy Jones Jr. vs. John Ruiz - Ruiz has 4" reach advantage, 3" height advantage and 33 lbs. weight advantage at weigh-in.

    Does this has something to do with the upcoming Hoya-PAC fight?

    For all who are asking, this is just a simple question out of curiosity. Most of the time, the one with these advantages "usually" wins, but always, the victory goes to the fighter who wants it more.

    And my question is still unanswered: What is the reach on the big guy, Valuev?

    Basilio over Robinson
    Frazier over Ali
    Duran over Moore
    Marciano over Walcott
    Hagler over Hearns
    Dempsey over Williard
    ect, ect, ect.

    Rojas-Caballero was probably close to a 9 inch reach difference, but that's just a guess.
