In their primes, which LOOKED the most beatable

Oh right, well the thread did say 'in their primes'.

It's easy to point at Mayweather and Calzaghe then, because they've been undefeated throughout their whole career, from being prime to past their primes.

He was behind on a judges scorecard, it was very close on the other two, it was a legit DQ, he hit him clean when Griffin was clearly down

 

jones

 

Wasant he behind on the score cards ?

 

Jones by far

In his prime Jones looked unreal, like a character from comics

 

Eh. You're right. He was down on the official cards slightly.

Watching it again as I do this

Yeah. Jones was taking some hard shots too. So much for the glass chin theory but again...yeah...he was looking vulnerable. But so has the other two.

Refreshing the memory.

 

See that Jones left eye was swollen at the end as well, he was getting hit fairly regularly (by Jones standards) throughout. Griffin fought a great fight that night, although I do think Jones was getting to him by the end, silly mistake to hit him twice, while Griffin was clearly down.

 

Yup. I got it wrong. I think the last few rounds were stuck in my head. It's been a while.

I have a feeling several have read the thread wrong. :yep

 

Calzaghe probably.

 

Yeah. He was getting tagged up.

 

He was losing to Montell Griffin, no matter how the judges had it.

 

Joe, then PBF due to the Castillo fight and some slip ups with Corley and I can't remember the other fighter who kind of hurt PBF back then. Jones was Superman back then.
