Absolutely. Once in a generation talent. Would have loved him to have had stiffer competition - McClellan would have been good as would the Toney...
Sorry. Not sure I made my point clearly. I'm not disputing any of that, nor that Jones was naturally bigger than them. Marvin was probably a jnr...

The Ring did a feature back in 90 pitting punchers against chins. Cyclone Hart v Vito Antuofermo, Tex Cobb v Earnie Shavers were two of the match...
That was Jimmy Cannon, mate.
Being under 35, having had less than 90 fights and being a natural heavyweight might neutralise it a bit too.
Absolutely he could. The chinny bit gets overplayed. The knockout losses outside of Foreman and Garcia happened at an age when he no longer had...
There must be 1000s so I've tried to keep it to title fights rather than fights where the better fighter is becoming an opponent and only used...
No mas.
