    Do I just go on and on like glass jaws like he does? I don't think we're that similar... You just seem to be a bitter Jones fanboy, maybe that's why you're seeing a connection that isn't there.

    Got beat in his prime by Montell Griffin.

    Never fought any of the biggest challenges in any of his weight classes. Notable exception: James Toney. That's great win, even though Toney was notably drained/sluggish.

    No chin, none at all.

    Diva.

    Can-crusher.

    Frontrunner.

    Hahahaha you are hopefully trolling. If you just seriously cited the Montell Griffin fight as "getting beat in his prime" then you know so little about boxing you could be Skip Bayless.

    Was he not losing at the time of the DQ?

    No, he was up on 2 of 3 cards and had just scored a KD in the 9th round... He was also dominating the second half of the fight.

    Dominating is a stretch.

    You severely edited your post haha. But in response your original post which was.... "None of that is true except for the KD".

    Jones was up 77-75 on one card, 76-75 on one card and down 76-75 the other card at the time of the DQ and that is before factoring in the 10-8 round he would have had in the 9th. He won the 5th, 6th and 7th (scored a KD in the 7th) on all 3 cards before losing the 8th on all 3 cards and then scoring a KD in the 9th. How exactly is it not true? He was up 39-35 over the 4 rounds preceding the 9th. He then scored a KD in the 9th. So if he had not been an idiot and hit Griffin after he took a knee it would have been 49-43 over the last 5 rounds... That is dominating in my book.

    See my last post. He dominated from the 5th round on and he beat himself by having a brain spasm.

    His brain spasms against Tarver and Johnson were even more notable :D
