    Which doesn't count for much, as you think Frazier is a H2H king. I wouldn't be surprised if you thought a prime Frazier beats a prime Foreman

    Boxrec.com :lol: How any qualified judge could give Malinga that fight is dementia

    Jones, had to resort to feints against Malinga because he couldn't break the defense, and 90% of the fluffy 20-shot flurry finish on Thornton didn't actually land - Eubank got in more in six rounds on Malinga and three rounds on Thornton

    :rofl:rofl:rofl

    I forgot someone feinting in a boxing ring was illegal. If it was Eubank doing the feinting you'd say it was a boxing masterclass, but your an agenda driven douchebag, so I'll let you off.

    How any qualified judge could give Eubank the second fight with Steve Collins is much more dementia yet one did :lol:

    are you serious right now? sometimes i just don't get you man. Roy Jones is not a high output puncher. Roy Jones is a power puncher, it DOES NOT matter if YOU think Eubank got in "more" in the rounds against Malinga and Thornton. The only thing that matters is that Roy Jones ended both fights early and Eubank had to go a full 12 rounds...like come on atberry i don't get you.

    Roy Jones had to resort to feints? Of course he did because that's how Jones fights, that's what made Roy Jones who he is. wtf man.

    There was certainly some strange stuff going on with the judges in Eubank fights. He never deserved even a draw with Dan Schommer, or Collins the second time.

    I admit that Jones had significantly more natural power than Eubank.

    That's how Jones fought right? Roy Jones used feints and other tactics, he was a power counter puncher. He didn't like to get into a brawl, he liked to get hit and get out of the way and it worked for him because of his speed and reflexes. So yeah maybe Eubank got "more" in on those fighters but that doesn't matter because Jones didn't fight like that. Jones KO'ED/TKO'ED both of them Eubank didn't. They both gave Eubank a lot more trouble than they did Jones as well.

    Malinga's defense gave Jones more trouble than it gave Eubank, and Thornton's defense gave Jones more trouble than it gave Eubank, and Eubank was a boxer/mover/counter-puncher in those fights

    Um ya it gave Jones much more of a problem, didn't Jones KO Malinga in the 6th and TKO Thornton in the 3rd? Or am i goin crazy breh?:?

    Didn't Jones drop Thornton at the end of the 2nd as well. Yeah they obviously gave Jones a hell of a lot more trouble defense wise.

    Well to be fair that was the only judge under the pressure of scoring live, the other 2 judges scorecards had much more preparation having been filled out 2 weeks in advance :yep


    Eubank would have got them out of there way quicker but he was contractually obliged to pose and admire his work for 2 minutes of each round

    And just like always with Jones in such comparisons , he was 3 years younger than Eubanks and fought d same opponents whom were older than Eubanks himself , years after Eubanks had .

    So what does it prove ?


    same case with his mutual opponents comparison with Toney .

    Wait , by d same logic , your logic , Dawson > Jones since if u watch their per4mances vs Tarver , Johnson , Hopkins (but not Harding) it was Dawson who did much better .
    So Y won't u start worshipping a new hero "Bad" Chad ?
    let me guess , u'r already a fan (?)

    i doubt it .
    what makes u think this way ?
    maybe Jones' brittle fists / wrists / knuckles made him reluctant 2 use his power ? but he could still go 2d body like he did sometimes .
    Yes , i know about d Virgil Hill and Hopkins #2 fights but he wasn't usually renowned 4/known as a particularly devastating body puncher .

    same reply as i did with your other account : Jones was 3 years younger than Eubanks , Malinga & Thornton were older than Eubanks and Jones fought them years after Eubanks had .

    going by your logic yields Eric Harding > Roy Jones .
