Whether he had stopped training four years before he lost, he lost. No crime at 35.

I think that the weigh thing hurt him too but it is only normal that somebody looses a bit hunger or passion if he does it his whole life basically... I mean his father had him training at which age? I don't know... let's say probably 10... so he has been more years in his life in boxing that he was without... and all the training and stuff simply gets stale... on top of that he reached as good as everything he could... you simply loose that edge... it is everywhere... sport, music... name it... if human beings archieve their goals they get lazy... only thing that prevents it is if you have a new goal... and what was for him there to reach after he became Heavyweight champion... he said it himself: Mike Tyson and I retire afterwards the Ruiz fight...
Dude is and will always be special in my book... I mean you can say he only fought bums if that's your opinion but I've never seen a guy who beat up guys the way he did...

So he's claiming Jones's downfall was due to lack of training and dediciation?
I personally thought he was just never the same after losing all that muscle in that space of time and then getting knocked out.
