Chris Eubank is King here. He took Benn's biggest ever punches flush over 21 rounds, more power shots in a single fight v Watson(rematch) than...
Jones does have history of laying on the ropes against a heavier-handed fighter than himself - see the McClellan/Jones amateur fight from 1988,...
If he wasn't a complete dork, he wouldn't have.
Griffin won the fight fair and square, after showing he was the better boxer. Get over it.
Robbie Sims held wins over DeWitt, Barkley and Duran at the time he fought Benn. Bernard Hopkins held wins over, err, nobody, at the time he...

He was 222lbs about 4-5 weeks out, and on a drip in hospital the night before the fight to keep him alive. Toney was better than Jones, both in...
Hatton's stock gone up after PM / AB?!
