Im a huge Jones fan but as an Irish man Id have loved to see him v Collins. Sad that it never happened.
Im irish too man i think it was a good thing for Collins it didn't happen. He had the heart of a lion and a great fighter just think at that time Jones would have destroyed him. Never will know. Collins v Calzaghe would have been great.
Collins was a good fighter but if he had his hands full with Reggie Johnson, it would have not looked good for him against RJJ. Benn-RJJ would be interesting. RJJ has the edge but you never know in boxing.
Jones is the greatest of all times, it's not close, who's near, Robinson? He isn't nearly as good, nowhere near as quick or defensively sound. Armstrong, no chance
You're delusional. Roid faster? Maybe by a **** hair. Better defense? Absolutely not. Roid had head movement and nothing else, no guard, little parrying ability, just reflexes and head movement. And that disgraceful Glass Jaw would have been brutally shattered even against a past-prime SRR who was 10x the fundamental boxer and 100x as tough. Fanboys rate Roid as unbeatable because of potential, not deeds in the ring. He ducked all the power punchers of his era and cherrypicked weak titleholders to garner an impressive level of trinket belts rather than legitimate championships. He is a Glass Jawed fraud and an absolute disgrace to boxing.
Collins Johnson was a hell of scrap ..I recommend that fight highly for those who have not watched it ..
Jones' level of competition was laughable, and he was a steroid cheat. He doesn't deserved to be mentioned in the same paragraph as legends like Ray Robinson, Marvin Hagler, and Harry Greb.
the expert has spoken i think this is the cocksucker that said he "did some thai boxing" and just posts crap like this. i guarantee you this ****** has never stepped in a ring. yes, jones sucked so bad the ****ing brits did a documentary about jones being the best. everyone must have been fooled all this time.
Only the mssg bpard posters label him as a steroid cheat while his peers respect his ability and some were even fans of him but we all know he had a glas jaw blah blah blah atsch
exactly. btw, your giants stuck it to us last sun. we've blown 4th qtr leads in 5 of our 6 losses this year. it's sickening to watch.
