    Louis was not a clowner and neither was Marciano but Jones humiliated many opponents with that sort of dominance so Joe gave him a little taste of his own medicine

    Agreed thought it was closer than anyone gives credit for, I actually had it close at 7-5, I much prefered Jones clean heavy shots, thought Joes shots were largely ineffective and hitting gloves, but everyone knows I'm a massive Jones fan. If truth be told Jones didnt punch enough and cant anymore, but his punches were still the best of the night

    People were talking about Joes taunting, well he did that to try to get Jones to lead instead of countering, because Joe didnt land much when he came forward and ate allot of counters

    RJJ isn't half the fighter he was but I think Calzaghe himself is starting to fade, or it could just be the step up in class

    I´m not a hater. Look at the "I really, realy want Jones to win"-thread in the general board. Showing you the flaws in his career does not make me an hater. :bart

    I've said as such in the British Forum- as if making fun of a fighter with 15 losses who can't pay his bills and has been training for the fight only after a 12-hour shift at the factory is ok. The sad thing is, it is with some dickhead fans. :-(

    I did. Yeah, probably the same. I mean, he was acting like a bit of a gobshite but these 'horrified' type quotes are way over the top. Good fight. I thought Jones give up a good show for the first half of the contest, especially.

    Go spend some time in General Forum if you want your quota of dickhead fans.I was there today and it really opened my eyes about how many people on ESB are nothing but nasty,trolling,keyboard warriors.

    You have so called boxing fans putting **** on Jones's opposition just because a couple of them had to work other jobs prior to meeting him.In their view that automatically disqualifies them from any of our respect.

    **** that.

    Anybody who steps in the ring especially with an elite fighter deserves respect,especially if they have to balance jobs and family as well.It's all too easy to poke **** at fighters (I've done it myself) without taking into consideration all that they've sacrificed to get where they have.

    Anyway I'll be sticking with the Classic Forum exclusively from now on.I'd much rather mingle with the open minded,perceptive,intelligent posters this forum has rather than the bigoted shitheads wasting everyones time in General.
