RJJ avoided Lennox Lewis. Does that mean he avoids Primo Carnera or Jess Willard?

    Don't think there's any such thing as an 'easy ' fight when you're talking about a former MW operating - and winning - at HW.
    Jones himself said how difficult the preparation was to put the muscle on. And plenty of pundits \ publications at the time were predicting him to lose.

    Carnera and Willard would beat Lewis on the same night.

    Carnera definitely mauls him, unless Jones has a personal bodyguard in the referee. Ruiz was an easy picking that furthermore decided not to be the usual dirty scumbag fighter he was.

    Agreed but lol at “dirty scumbag” no offence you called kidney punching, rabbit punching, hit you while you’re down… Mr shove you like a sumo bs George Foreman “beautiful” or whatever among other flowery compliments but John’s “scum” for clinching? was he so evil? What’d he do? Be boring?

    No steroids back then, silly. I love how every Roid Jones discussion has a giant elephant in the room.
