    He fought a great fight and broke Joshua. Joshua "got lucky" that Ruiz showed up in horrible condition for thr rematch.

    You post some ****.

    Jones was spent after coming down after Ruiz at 34 years of age. Jones never once looked like himself again post Ruiz. Blokes who literally couldn’t carry his jockstrap were routinely beating him. Tarver was damn lucky he got his arse handed to him by Eric Harding in 2000. If he’d somehow won that a still close to prime Jones would have trounced him. Probably the luckiest loss of this century. It made Tarvers entire career.

    Because people don’t like Wilder and he lost to Zhang years later.

    What happened in that rematch with Harding?

    And Jones looked like his old self for a round a half in the rematch with Tarver. Then something happened to him and he never quite looked the same.

    Perhaps you can name a better electronica album than ‘you’ve come a long way baby’ with at least four songs that were absolutely everywhere for at least 5 years and milked by various films, video games, and television productions.
    America has some good music but electronica generally speaking is not as good as the UK which has always produced the best electronic music.
