You mean the way Frazier had knocked Ali's brain cells loose in the FOTC? Doesn't say much for Jones' durability or resilience that single...
I made the Hill comparison because both scored some surprising KOs early in their careers and were considered possible greats-in-the-making, but...
You've actually found proof that the first Fulton-Morris fight was fixed? Or are you simply choosing to give credence to one of multiple...
Which ones weren't considered rated HWs? Outside of maybe Willard, which ones could be argued as past their primes?
If I choose to ignore Jones' age, then his losses to Tarver and Johnson should definitely be held against him, since he was only a year removed...

They all were considered HW contenders, and they all were considered in or near their primes.
I don't claim to know Jones' actual motives for declining to fight Tarver during this time - nor is it relevant to my point. The fact remains,...
This so-called "middling" run to the title included wins over two HOFers (one by KO), and KOs of at least two other legit prime contenders in...
