    I don't know about you, but it gave me chills down my spine!!!

    Seriously am I the only one that was a little bit taken by two IMO "legends" staring off like that...Two absolute masterfully skilled fighters who have reigned undisputed for a long long time looking down into each others soul like that. If you're a fan of boxing then you had to have felt something during that stare down, that **** was intense! :good

    Looking into the eyes of a man that you're going to get into a boxing fight with is no easy thing. If its one thing that gets to you is looking right into your opponents eyes, when you do that its like a switch in your body like "Ready set..GO!!!"

    Joe looked a littler scared, that laughing and smirking is a sign of weakness. Notice 'Nard didn't react when Joe was being stupid.

    :lol:

    Best of luck to you:good

    The worst decision I ever made in my amateur career was to try and get myself down to lightweight. I came in half a pound over, weak as hell, and wasn't allowed time to sweat it off. I had to fight in the welterweight bracket. Ended up being the only time I was ever dropped. Never did I try that **** again.

    Jones has really turned into a cool guy over the last few years. I would like to see him on HBO again.

    Didn't Joe start the laughing **** at the Kessler weigh-in??? He didn't do too badly in that fight.
