    I'm guessing a lot of you in here have already seen this but if you haven't and you're a Roy Jones fan, it's must see. ESPN did a documentary leading up to his fight with John Ruiz. It's about 55 minutes long. Enjoy. :good

    Also, i have a question about this fight. In the weigh-in, do you think the doctor who did the weigh-in was told by upper powers to underestimate RJ's weight to make it more intriguing to fans? RJ was about 200 at the weigh in but the doctor said he was 193. Later, the doctor admitted he made a mistake and when he re-weighed him, he was 199. If everyone knew RJ was 200, i don't think the interest would've been as great as everyone knew he was much more skilled and talented than Ruiz.

    Wish I had a good answer for you there... just bumping the question up so it's more noticeable.

    I'm loving the overly dramatic chicken coverage at the beginning. :rofl

    He weighed 199.

    Mackie had been weighing him throughout camp and Mackie and others were betting what Roy would weigh 198-201.


    Roy weighed 199 for Ruiz not 193.

    He should have stayed at HW, fought Holyfield for 20 million dollars and quit boxing.

    Oh well.
