    Jones of course never did this to his opponents.

      Prime Jones is in a different class, he's exempt.

        I would've rather seen him stick to his business and finish old Roy.

        I've never liked showboating but I guess you could make the case that Jones deserved after all of what he did to his opponents during his prime years, even against Tito Trinidad.

        Jones didn't seem to find it hugely disrespectful so I don't see why anyone else would.

          Why??? Jones fought McCallum who was 40 years old and did all his little dance, Jones has done it to countless victims in the past so it shouldnt trouble him to receive a little back.

            Ray: It's a fan thing, i know Jones has clowned nearly every fighter he fought. It's just for someone who holds Jones in high regard - you don't want to see it happen to him.

            An unfair view, yes. But still my view.

                did McCallum have a cut or bleeding like Jone was? I think it was alright for him to showboat some, but after the cut and towards the end of the fight there was no need for it. I don't think the showboating should surpass the amount of fighting taking place.

                  What difference does that make?

                    I think the taunting from Joe was down to the fact that Jones was teasing him
                    when he knocked him down in round 1 and the crowd were cheering usa..
                    I even saw Jones stick his tongue.He was acting Up and payback is a muthaf8cker
