ATG big punchers who’d still be ATG’s if they had below average power

    Completely and 100% agreed. Jones cracked as many iron chins as any atg puncher and if he wasn't so dazzling, he'd certainly be remembered as one.

    Yep - what he did to Malinga and Sosa, as well as the body shot on Hill probably speak for themselves.

    In many ways, the dazzle and not necessarily carrying the style of a more conventional power puncher is what made him so dangerous earlier on when he didn't mind hurting people. I can't remember which magazines I read it in but I do recall that B-Hop and Toney both remarked about Jones' surprising power.
