I was referring to the time between the fight with Ruiz and the second fight with Tarver which was over a year (14 months i think).
He didn`t have to cut a huge amount of weight for the rematch with Tarver because he had already lost the weight for the first one and weighed 175 for both.
I think you have to take Jones' weight loss with a pinch of salt.
Is it biologically possible to add 20 pounds of muscle in 6 months without the aid of steroids. Any bodybuilder will tell you this is impossible.
It is therefore a fair assumption that most of the weight that Jones added was either
A) not muscle
B) muscle tissue as a result of taking steroids plus excess fat/water
Stopping a cycle of steroids causes muscle atrophy which can cause rapid weight loss.
