    He cannot be close. He does not have the resume. He just doesn't and he does not deserve anything below top 25 p4p ever. He always handpicked his opponents.

    John Ruiz may be boring but beating John Ruiz is a feat. He's done and won a lot in his career.


    Im not saying Roy Jones is top 10 atg but he wouldn't of been able to fight LL anyway. LL turned down the fight (Not because he was scared)

    :good yes it is. rjj was 193lbs!!!! say what you will about ruiz but it takes balls for someone who weighs that much, who supposedly has a glass jaw and handpicks his opponents to get in the ring with a true hw.

    i suggest looking at some of those youtube vids of him. no one was beating him during his prime. no one was close in fact

    He did weigh in at 193 on a scale that never balanced.

    The guy who did the weighing even said he made a mistake.


    Mackie Shilstone weighed Roy that morning and had him at 200lbs.

    Roy also on video got a scale after the weigh in and took off his shoes, shirt and hat and weighed 199.

    Way I look at it, if Duran is in the top ten then Jones should be as well...Duran had a weak resume when you think of it in terms of fights that he actaully won.
