Tony Demarco.
Robinson fought Basillio twice in two of most grueling fights ever. In the first and second fights Basillio suffered deep cuts on his face. He fought Demarco twice and once with only one eye, cause his left eye was completely soaked with blood and he lost vision in it. The Demarco fights were among the best in middleweight history. Basillio was one of the best ever but doesn't get his just due.
As far as what Crack said, he is right. Jones may look amazing against light heavyweights. But Ruiz has taken shots from some of the best Heavyweights his whole career. There is a big difference being hit by a 160 or 175 pound fighter and a 220-250 pound fighter. It's not just the weight the weight has little to do with it actually except for Ruiz having an advantage in clinches. Even a journeyman heavyweight will punch harder than any top 10 light heavyweight.
The old saying is always a good big man will always beat a great little man.
But don't count jones out ofcourse. My concern is that jones has never been hurt and not all fighters react well the first time they taste their own blood or are dazed. How will jones react if he gets cut or gets rocked? Ruiz has bled, he's been hurt and even beaten and has bounced back from it.
