Comments Thread For: Guillermo Jones is Finally on The Verge of Being Stripped

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBA president Gilberto Mendoza reports that cruiserweight champion Guillermo "Felino" Jones (36-3, 28KOs) of Panama is about to be stripped of his crown. He won the WBA title with a knockout of Firat Arslan in September 2008. All sorts of issues outside of the ring and fight postponements have caused Jones too sit out for nearly two years, but the title is being held hostage around his waist. The WBA will hold a meeting to decide his fate. It seems they have finally had enough. [Click Here To Read More]

Isn't Jones being held hostage right now by Don King? Even if he were to defend he would be so rusty he would lose.

King owns the WBA.

Cruiserweights are lucky that Jones has been on the shelf because he would've beaten a lot of the current crop of Cruisers.

You know he would have, but its about time something was done.

If he isn't defending the belt, its way past time to pass it along.
