    Gonna throw a spanner in the works, but i think Michael Nunn's style would of given Jones problems.

    Nunn in his prime though.

      Ditto but the only problem is he didn't hit that hard, the KO of Sumbu Kalambay was a freak occurence. He normally was a bit of a pitter-patter fighter with his combinations. I mean that in no disrespectful way he wasn't a feather fisted fighter by any means but you know what i mean.

      But he did have a good jab, good height, and good slick skills. The Michael Nunn that fought Sumbu Kalambay and all his previous fights before that, he would give RJJ big problems.

        Im with you there, allthough i think he has enough power to hurt Jones. I mean Nunn did hurt Juan Roldan too.

        I think Nunn's slickness,speed and lefty stance would puzzle the hell outta Jones. Only problem i see is that Nunn did too much clowning in the ring sometimes, although i dont think he would do it against Jones.

        The Nunn that beat Tate would deffo of troubled Jones imo.

          Nunn might've been Jones' kryptonite. And he did have power, he just hardly sat on his punches. Eric Harding was the same way.

          Nunn's style would pose problems for Jones the way Frankie Liles' style did in the amateurs; the way Lou Del Valle's style did and the way Antonio Tarver's style did.

            I agree 100% with the bold part.

            Yep, i think Southpaw's generally threw Jones off a little bit. Its like ive said before to beat a Southpaw you have to put pressure on them and that is why i believe guys like Jones and Mayweather looked less than spectacular against Southpaw's, because their style is not geared around putting pressure on their opponents, its the opposite.

                  Too slow, what the **** you on about man?

                  The only reason he landed ANYTHING on Calzaghe is because he is still REALLY fast, not as quick as he was at his best, but still quicker than all other light-heavyweights atm.

                      calzaghe faught a shell or jones tho everyone knows that i think in his prime the fight would have been a lot lot closer instead of the one sided beating jones took which is a shame really as the fight would have a miles better win for wither man neither fighter gained anything from the fight really
