    Jones should've retired four years ago.

    He better not fight Jones.

    A lot of truth to what he said but a bit of a burn.

    I was thinking the same thing. He was very respectful to Jones, particularly when he said "those were the things that awed us with him". He showed respect and concern for his old nemesis in that interview.

    Jones should have fought Lewis after John Ruiz and retire. Even if he would have got knocked out by Lewis he would remain as one of the greatest of all time. Well, he still is.

    As soon as he didn't go Cruiser for one of the Championships...it was over.

    Jones should move up to Heavyweight or Cruiserweight if weight is the problem.

    You want to see him die, it seems. I bet if you met him in real life, you would probably have a change of heart.
