fact of the matter is he started with eubank and will finish with jones. undefeated for over 10 years. an admirable fighter with outstanding achievements . A champion is someone who gets up when he can't. -Jack Dempsey
and thats the bottom line. well done. but brits will still try to sell it as meaningful but i'll still be here to put them in their place.
Not really...In 50 years they will still know that Jones and hopkins were past their best days...It will to a point be a Sandy Sadler Willie Pep kind of deal...Sadler won the fights but Pep is still seen as the greater fighter due to the fight with Sadler taking place after Pep was said to have been past it...That was about 50 years ago and no one has forgot...
Minus Toney and RJJ's resume is still miles ahead of Calzaghe's. Jones still has Tarver on his resume. Hill. Hopkins. Ruiz. Castro. Griffin. But the fact is he DOES have Toney on his resume. Take Hopkins off Joe's and how great is his???
Nice quote but what the **** does that have to do with this??? Jones is shot so the fact that he can't beat Calzaghe makes him less great??? And Dempsey ain't one to talk he retired while still close to his prime after being beat by Tunney the second time.
