Junior Jones?

Not to metion it was a pre-prime Barrera he faced.

False. Just because he changed his style afterward doesn't mean he wasn't prime at the time. If you're not prime by 7 years into your career, and it has nothing to do with your conditioning or weight, you're never prime.

Jones was even his 10th WBO title defense, after amassing a record of 43-0. Not prime? Please.

Excellent point. When Jones defeated Barrera, Barrera was considered one of the best fighters in the world. In the second fight, barrera changed his style and still lost.

A 22 year old Barrera was not in his prime.

[EDD1]

A 22 year old Barrera was not in his prime.

that type of an argument is a default that can be aplied to 99% of fights, Please dont try to dimish the accomplishment.

jones had a great career and was hurt in fights by an offensive style that gave everyone a haymakers chance.

[BOLLOCKS]

Jones had a piss poor career.

[Calilloyd]

Was he a underachiver? Did he reach his full potential?

Defeat peak MAB twice, becoming the first to beat him. Real skilled, fast and could punch.

Also defeated 31-0 Jorge Eliecer Julio, Orlando Canizales, Tom Johnson, Tracy Harris Patterson. But at times could blow real hot and cold.

Thoughts?

KO power in his right and good offensive skills. But shaky chin and stamina contributed to his inconsistency.

[TheGreatA]

He had no business losing to John Johnson and Pinckney but I wouldn't call him an under-achiever either considering that he scored two wins over a young Barrera and good wins over an older Canizales & Patterson despite his obvious limitations.

Jones was to Barrera just like Forrest was to Mosley

Jones has some good wins on his resume. But fighting Morales right after getting stopped by McKinney was a mistake
