    Green is better than Jones, hence why he blasted him out in a round with EASE
    Hammed was said to be prime prior to the fight and all of the sudden he became NOT PRIME anymore after getting clobbered from pillar to post. He was 27 years old. Have some common sense. Not prime my ass.

    Jones was obviously done and just shy of 35 in Tarver I and still managed to win.

    Now you are clowned.

      I think what he accomplished he accomplished, that won't change. Ali lost to 7-0-1 Spinks, Holmes lost to Brian Neilson, the great Sugar Ray Robinson went 5-5 in his last ten, lossing to the likes of 14-4-1 Memo Ayon(who was ko'd is his next 4 fights).

      I'm not comparing Jones to Robinson, I'm just saying they all lose bad if they stick around to long, but what they did in their prime still stands.

              Tyson was finished when he had to spend 4 years of his prime in jail.

                Fighting on does not tarnish your legacy. Just ask this guy.

                  Tyson was finished after he sacked Rooney back in 1988

                    Nah, he might not have been the greatest heavy of all time like some were predicting, but I would have picked Tyson over holyfield if that fight came of in 1991.

                      That was a dream fight shame it didnt happen it was one of the reasons I never got to hyped about Pac May. Dream fights dont always happen, but I agree, Tyson would of beaten Evander at that point of their careers.
                      As for Tyson he was on the slide after Rooney, didnt want to train properly, not following the Cus Dmato model, taking unnecessary anti depression medication etc
