    Jones had a brilliant exchange with G.Kelly leading up to the KO and for that it was his best KO, the only problem with the KO was that Kelly was a plodder and very easy to trick, does the fact that Kelly wasn`t out cold and was such a bad fighter devalue that iconic KO?

    That’s Glen Kelly Mark.
    Glen Johnson knocked Jones out.

    The KOs of Griffin and Hill were his best.

    I can’t decide which one was better.

    His best ko was when he left Art Serwano convulsing on the canvas.

    The KO of Thomas Tate was his best imo. That left hook was one of the best I’ve seen and I’m a big left hook fan!

    That was awesome.

    I only went for Griffin, because it was a lead uppercut, and it was up at 175 pounds.

    I’ve never seen anyone knock out a guy with a lead uppercut before.

    His best stoppage has to have been against Paz. I know that Paz was hopelessly outmatched, but that 6 punch combination whilst walking forwards was unbelievable.

    The timing, the technique and the footwork etc was a sight to behold.

    Who walks forward and throws uppercuts from either hand?

    Roy was something else.

    The Ruddock smash that knocked Dokes out was kind of a lead uppercut.
