[The_Demon]

I would think some posters would disagree with you there. After all Ali was down more times than Jones..........................................

hahaha

afterall prime jones had a better chin than Lamotta

A lot of the replies in this thread were written with ignorance. He's trying to compare their skills, on a P4P basis. Not who would win in a fantasy fight. It's a perfectly logical question.

Jones has the advantage in speed and power.

Ali has the advantage in footwork, defense and reflexes.

In the end, I'll have to go with Ali. Although to a lesser degree than Jones, he still had amazing speed and pretty good power.

Jones' footwork wasn't anything to brag about and neither was his defense. He had great reflexes but I would say that Ali's was better.

In his prime you'd need cryptonite to make him stagger......

Who the hell did Jones ever beat at heavyweight to even be compared to ali to begin with?

Hand speed....Jones by a slight margin
Foot speed....Ali all day
Power....Ali all day
chin....Ali all day
Level of competition....Ali all day
Size....Ali all day
Defense....Ali all day

The only thing Jones was significantly better than Ali was body punching and that would get him no where against a prime Ali.

Jones was one of my favorite fighters to watch, but any comparison to Ali is absurd.

Your opinion is that of a weak nuthugger, not an educated boxing fan.
