I've been saying Jones Jnr is over rated for ages (said it here many times and was mocked too). Tarver isn't really much better. In my eyes, the Glenn Johnson vs. Joe Calzaghe fight on June 12 decides who is the man in the light heavyweight division (and I'm picking Calzaghe there). I'm surprised to see Frank Warren is already trying to fix a Calzaghe vs. Tarver unification fight when June 12 certainly isn't a walk in the park. And what's the point in that anyway? All the money is still with Jones Jnr. Well I guess the sense is that you might as well book a unification match since Jones Jnr has been ducking Calzaghe for years now (as well as Dariusz Michalczewski).

And as for Jones Jnr beating Ruiz - He had ONE fight at heavyweight which was a joke really. Ruiz is one of the worst heavyweights in the worst heavyweight top 10 list in the past 50 years. He could have easily fought a James Toney or David Tua and seen what he could do, There is a very good reason he never fought a Lennox Lewis, a Mike Tyson or even a Hasim Rahman or a Klitchko.
