This would of been awesome, but Mr Jones ****ed it up..

[JUYJUY]

Jones refused to work with King, it wasnt until the Ruiz fight I believed he first worked with him and then regretted it.

So Jones couldn't fight any fighter that was associated with King? WTF.

JUYJUY, would you respect Jones more if he fought Eubank and Benn and got KOed by them in 1 round?

Yeah, obviously.

[jack_the_rippuh]

Another question.
What can Jones do from here on out to gain respect from you?

I wouldnt say couldnt but chose not to...Jones never wanted to do 2 things in boxing.

1-Work with Don King
2-Fight overseas

Nobody is ever going to agree on the whole Jones fighting Eubank or Benn and arguing will never convince anybody. Jones was snubbed by Eubank coming up and Jones was snubbing Eubank when he was at the top, so it works both way and to add fuel to the fire that Jones never showed interest in going overseas it only clouded the confusion that much more. Neither fighter needed one another but it would have been a perk if it did happen.


The only fight I believe with Jones SHOULD have happened was against McClellan.

Juy why do you say Benn was unbeatable in the amateurs

Juy why do you say Benn was unbeatable in the amateurs

He travelled the world as an army boxer and won every army tournament he entered, and all over the world the army boys are always real good. Benn came out of the army and narrowly lost in the final of the ABA divs final in 85 to Rod Douglas, it was Benn's ABA debut whereas Douglas had won the last two ABA nationals and was robbed at the 84 Olympics. Benn came back in 86 and whipped Douglas' ass at the ABA divs final this time, first and only man to ever knock him down, first and only man to ever beat him fair and square, so Benn reversed his only loss as an amateur before turning professional. Douglas stayed in the amateurs, won the ABA nationals in 87 and was the favourite to win Olympic Gold in 88 but decided to turn professional instead. I'm not speaking literally that Benn was unbeatable in the amateurs, but you know what I mean He was the ****.
