Roy Jones JR

Cover · Feb 19, 2003

Some friends and I are going all out on this fight. I am taking out a loan to bet on Roy. This is best odds I have ever seen on Roy. I heard Lamply say he thinks Roy will win every minute of every round. I just pray to God that roy roy does not get caught with a big right.

Please throw in your two cents.

Ruiz is a subset of heavyweight champ. Do you
think Ruiz can beat Lennox Lewis?. Lewis IS the
heavy-weight champ and Ruiz is a creation of the
alphabet organizations. That's not to say he won't win, but championship belts are like
horse-shit; all over the place. Ruiz is a legit
heavy who will have a 40lb or more advantage
over Jones. All the other advantages are in Jones' favor. Fit for a circus side show I say.

Seriously Teddy, give us a break with that BS. Ruiz is a bad fighter in general but since the heavyweight division sucks so bad he is in the top 5. He would get beat by Lewis, Wlad, Byrd and maybe another guy or two.

I really dont know what to make of this fight. I dont think Jones would be a bad bet I just dont know if I'm on board. I just dont know...
The skill level is not even comparable but I have never seen a guy Jones's weight fight a heavyweight.

I have not chosen a side. But I have quite a bit scalped on this fight and I have it all weighted towards Jones at the moment.

Should be a interesting fight. I have already got it order.

Jones -187 & Ruiz +167 at Olympic.
I'll be honest, I havent spent alot of time trying to break this fight down because I was skeptical Jones would actually take this.
We definitely need to do a thorough breakdown of this fight.

I see where youre coming from Cover, I really do. But I just dont know yet.
