Huh? Jones was an athletic freak kind of talent, lol.
Legend
Forget Collins, Benn, Liles, Michalcewski and Holyfield. They wouldn't have lived with Jones. Nunn, Eubank, McClellan, Parks, McCallum seven...
Two guys (along with McClellan, too) with similar speed and talent to Jones but better foot movement and better founded, better fundamentally.
If Jones didn't fear Eubank and Nunn in 96-97-98, he would've fought them. They were far more dangerous and risky than over-the-hill technicians...
You're comparing Liles, Toney and Collins to Michael Nunn? They didn't stand a chance against Jones. Nunn would've probably beaten him if motivated.
It doesn't take a lot of intelligence to work out that Jones had everything to lose in the 90s in his 20s and nothing to lose against Calzaghe...
This wasn't Richard Hall!
Liles and Tarver? Give me a break. Nunn's speed was on the level of Jones himself and his smoothness above the level of Whitaker.
No disrespect kid but I suggest you rewatch it. Close is tapping arms and air all night while making annoying noises, his only successes come from...
My team would beat yours H2H. Holmes Marciano Conn Benn Nunn Hearns Robinson Mayweather Gans Armstrong Hamed Sanchez Jofre Galaxy Villa Zapata Wilde
Nigel Benn.
I remember the one-round, one-punch body shot KO of Glenn Wolfe on the Toney-Barkley undercard. Left hook. Was devastating.
Trinidad was a blown up welterweight.
Maybe he just forgot how to defend against rightys right hands and that's why he got knocked out against Glencoffe, Green and the Russian etc....
