    All the fights that didnt come off have one main thing in common with the exception of Nunn.

    They are all European based. Jones was never prepared to fight away from home after being jobbed in the Korean Olympics, and many of those possible opponents were not prepared to fight away either. STALEMATE.

    You can hardly in those circumstances blame him for those fights not being made.

    5/10

    It would have been higher, apart from your mistake with Phillips.

    Please try harder.

    Jones turned Pro in 89 with 21 Fights. BHop turned Pro in 88 with 23 Fights. Logic tells me Jones was less experienced in the pro ranks or did I miss something?

    Exactly, you ignored what happened in the years before they turned pro.

    Probably Roy but not by KO. And if GGG grazes Roy's chin, it's over.
