Actually he fought bums for a big part of his career. Policemen and firemen. That´s why his resume is lackluster. Jones had atg potential but not an atg career.
BS. Prime DM was better than Tarver, the Hopkins Jones fought, Ruiz. Johnson is not even near him and you do know that DM easily beat Griffin right?
Jones definitly was great and is worthy of the HoF but he ain´t up there with the true greats. Nr. 1 p4p boxer of all time? :rofl
Ok outside of Ali and Robinson who doesn't he stand next to . Espn just had an all time greats list and rated Jones ,Ring mag has had Jones ranked for yrs . Most journalist don't argue his greatness its who he ranks under ?Yet he aint up there with the greats ?
No he is not. He isn´t Top10, he isn´t Top20 and he ain´t Top30. Top35 at best. He lacks the resume to be up there. Nothing to be ashamed of though. In about 130 years of history with hundred thousands of fighter in that time beeing Top35/40 is quite amazing.
**** you are a delusional German fan. Dm beat Griffen easily? He lost every round, landed and decent combo, and they stopped the fight? That's one of the fights people point to to show why you SHOULD NOT fight in Germany. If Jones would have fought Dm, he would have whooped him, and Dm would have been roughly the 9th or 10th best pelt on his chain. Behind Hopkins Toney Ruiz Tarver harding Gonzalez Del Valle (Dm ducked him) maybe tate. Then you are in Dm territory. Keith
He was pound for pound the best fighter in the world for roughly 10% of boxing's existence. That makes him easily top 20, maybe top 10. Take away the fact he ruled the lt Heavy division for around 6-7 years, won titles in 4 weight classes and was like the 2nd ever middleweight to win a title in the heavyweight division. Keith
Sorry your regional hero doesn't rate all time. But I see you didn't get to see the Dm -Griffen fight. Too bad. But hey Darren Zenner and Nicky Piper, those are fights legends are made. As well as court cases. Keith
And you are a crybaby fanboy who seemed quite content spouting bull**** and are now all mad and hurt someone called you on it. Too bad...... And it's odd you would say I was wrong when I said Dm fought Nicky Piper and zenner. Shows how much you know. Keith
