    I’m struggling to even remember what James Toney’s jab looked like.... I think he’d paw with it and bring it from his waist.

    1) I joined this site more than decade before you did.
    2) I'm not the one who is defending himself this entire thread because you decided to double down on what appears to be trollish and out of touch suggestions.

    If you think Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson had awful jabs then one legitimately has to question whether or nor you're being serious, or if you've actually watched any of their fights.

    What's more surprising about your suggestions is the fact that you're actually shocked that some one would call you out on it.

    Ali had to deal with a high volume, bruising puncher like Frazier, while Griffin didn`t throw that much vs Jones and still landed too much. Tyrrel used the same tactics Malinga used vs Jones but Ali looked far better vs Tyrell. Jones awful in his bout vs Malinga, I also feel if Jones had met Tyrell in his own era at his lightest weight, he would have more trouble against Tyrell than Ali did. I wasn`t talking about Jones fighting Frazier at heavy, I was just talking hypothetically as though a middle or super middle was as good as Joe was at heavy in terms of pressuring a fighter with that bob and weave style. They would beat Jones and I hope you weren`t making the same mistake when saying Jones would beat Foreman, because that fight would last two rounds, Foreman would have destroyed Ruiz for instance and he wasn`t any slower than him.

    You mention the reading thing, I hope that doesn`t bother you or anything, these are just opinions, a number of guys hate me on this web site also.

    He hardly threw it against Jones, you always jab against a fast fighter.

    Make sure they're 1996 commas, ok?
