    He got KOd bad when he was 35 after decades of boxing in the pros and amatuers, plus the weight loss. He wasnt going to come back from the Tarver KO the same. Anyone would have had the same fate. The short is he got old.

    :deal Jones never learned solid boxing fundamentals so he had nothing to fall back on as he ages.

    Thats not entirely true, more of a misconception than anything. He HAD learned proper fundementals. He used them more early on in his career, especially in the amatuers. Over time winning came so easy for him that he got bored and started getting more creative in the ring. That is when he really got away from the fundementals. He was too good for his own good in a sense.

    Does everybody think Jones' chin is that bad? I mean, I think it's not championship material, but I don't think it's as bad as everybody makes it out to be. He took some pretty big shots in Montel Griffin I and Tarver I.

    Have you not seen this China Chinned Chump lying in a pile of shattered glass in five separate fights? He has no chin, none.:patsch
