    I don't get it. Why do they keep saying Roy's greatest achievement is beating Ruiz?

    Beating Ruiz isn't a great boast.

    RJJ greatest achievement is his boxing style.

    Bob Arum has the P4P #1 in the sport and his fight with David Diaz barely broke 200,00 buys.

    In other words, it takes two to tango nowadays.

    Well...there is thing called buyrates...and ratings.

    Ya know statistical stuff.

    I'm confused, is RRJ trying to secretly sabotage MMA by showcasing the worst fighters?

    Because to the casual fan, anything you do at a heigher weight > your accomplishments at a lower weight.

    Roy's dominance as a LHW will always be overshadowed by his win over John Ruiz because HW is considered the pinnacle of boxing.

    flawed but true.

    Jones seems to be in top physical condition being 40 years old

    Guys like Roy and Hopkins don't let themselves get out of shape which is great.

    Wish we had more fighters like that.
