    Jones pissed away too much of the '90s. He spent his prime beating up part-timers and scrubs, and did not challenge himself enough. How many RJJ fights in the '90s were actually significant, aside from Toney?

    If you look at the likes of Tito and DLH, they had heaps of big fights that were real events, Jones never sought actual challenges until his career was winding down post-2000. He picked and chose his fights too much, as opposed to someone like Tito, Holy or Lennox, who would fight anyone at any time.
