    Jones was a great fighter.

    For me the problems are that too many people watch the Pazienza KO like they watch Tyson’s KO of Berbick and just extrapolate off into nonsense.

    If Jones was to fight Spinks, Moore, Langford, Tunney, Greb, Johnson, Charles, etc… sure he could win some but he’s not going to have it all his own way and he IS going to get hit. Charles, Moore, Langford etc came back from the brink of defeat to beat better fighters than Jones. It’s too convenient for Jones-ites to skim over the evidence, put on another highlight reel and drool over his un-natural speed.
