    I loved Jones-Johnson. Ages since i've seen it but after a given round Johnson's corner tells him "that's what it's going to take to win this fight" and Johnson's face is a picture, he's just had the round of his life, no way he's delivering that again. Then he does.

    Sometimes these fights are good when looked at from the opposite point of view. But yeah most of those were pretty grim.

    It's just a reality that far too many ATG fighters hang around way too long

    You can add:

    Ray Leonard LKO Hector Camacho
    Matthew Saad Muhammad LTKO Eric Winbush
