I was also quite shocked Paul Ingle stopped even do he was past his best.
It is quite surprising how Barrera could never handle him.

Can I copy and paste my response from the Kevin Kelly thread.
"He had pretty good skills coming up. Brawling and getting to too many exchanges was his downfall though. He spent a long time at #1 waiting for a shot. When he finally won the title he didn't hold it long because he chose to punch instead of box with the tough John M. Johnson."
Just changed the name at the end.
Ironic but Kelly and Jones both were brought up through the MSG stable of boxers(as was Aaron Davis and several others). I remember HBO doing a bit on Jones and Kelly and how they were two of the top p4p fighters. Must have been a curse because they both lost their next fight.
Anyways, Jones completely suprised me in the Barrera fights, which were probably Junior Jones' finest hours. If he chose to trade with Barrera I imagine it would have been alot different.
