    John thomas is a boring, safety first poster whose primary instinct is to gain acceptance from his fellow posters so you can never get a genuine response from him

    If i had to lay money on this matchup, I would favor the flashing, slashing fists of Jones over the methodical probing and pawing Monzon. I just dont see any way Monzon can take him out

    John Thomas is a legend around here. You’re not anything.

    Really?
    I didn’t connect the dots. Welcome back Rooster, your input will add some sorely needed comic relief!!

    Yeah i picked it not long after he resurfaced. He's been stirring up a storm with the old shtick.

    Jones

    Monzon fought weak natural middle and few with speed or size.

    Nice words, very humbling , you have my parents to thank, they brought me up to be honest and truthful, as I have to my 3 grown up kids, and I don't know you, but I suspect you also are a decent and trustful guy, as for telling you about wrong doing, cant see it happening , if it does, I will guide you , not tell you, stay safe my friend.

    Legend of what? any opinion from him is determined
    YOU are the comic relief!

    "John Thomas a legend". Only from the length of time he's been on here.

    a true legend has to have some fire and not be afraid to speak their mind.

    Roided Roy Jr. would win.

    DeRoided Roy Jr. would probably lose without the special juice.

    I have always been suspicious of this. Watching him as an amateur, I saw none of this ability he would later display as a pro

    Hearns couldn't dent and egg as an amateur. Different story in the pros.
    The ams and pros are basically different sports.
    Jones did get absolutely robbed in the Olympic finals in Seoul in possibly the biggest robbery ever, and was awarded best fighter at the games. Couldn't have been too shabby.

    Yes it takes a brave man to type stuff anonymously on an internet forum that may cheese off someone they will never meet or even know if they did.

    You best fly the flag for those warriors, Roost, and leave @JohnThomas1 to his quinoa sandwiches and cucumber juice.

    The poor old Rooster is still punch drunk from all the whoopings dating all the way back to 2005 or earlier.

    I'm still smarting over a decade later that they pulled my "redrooter" alt, the only alt I've ever devised.
