    Fury would have been hit less by Ruiz than Jones was.

    :lol: Is that supposed to be a rebuttal of some sorts?
    And why would it matter at all?

    He's one of the most gifted heavyweights I've ever seen, although I'm not sure what percentage to attribute to his physical athleticism and what percentage to his brilliant boxing brain. I lean more towards the latter. He reminds me a bit of Niccolino Locche, who was also a brilliant boxer but who appeared physically unimpressive.

    Just thought you hinting something about a heavyweight Jones,his performance v Ruiz was overrated.

    I wasn´t hinting about anything ya numnuts.
    I was talking about Fury´s reflexes and Jones was a good name to bring up, as he was someone with freakish reflexes(something few in boxing have possessed, Fury not being one of them)

    Bull****, Jones reflexes weren`t that good at heavyweight, but he retained superior hand speed.

    Oh for ****s sake! I wasn´t talking about Jones at heavyweight.
    I was talking about Jones in general, about how he was known for his freak reflexes. I wasn´t talking about him at heavyweight, him vs Ruiz or his hand speed.
    You are the one who brought it up.

    Okay, yes Jones was an amazing athlete, but I`m not a fan though.

    You really are special, you know that?
    And the wrong kind of special, just in case you didn´t get it.
