    In 1995, Jones defended his new title successfully three times, knocking out Antoine Byrd (brother of future IBF world Heavyweight champion Chris Byrd) in round one, former multiple time world champion Vinny Pazienza in round six, and Tony Thornton in round two.

    In 1996, Jones maintained his winning ways, defeating Merqui Sosa by a knockout in two, future world champion Eric Lucas in round 11, Bryant Brannon in round three, and former multiple world champion and eventual hall of famer Mike McCallum, by a decision in 12, to become a member of boxing's exclusive group of world champions in three weight divisions by winning the vacant WBC world Light Heavyweight crown. When he boxed Lucas, he became the first athlete to participate in paid basketball and boxing events on the same day, because he had played a game in Alabama in the morning and crossed back over the state line after his game, to defend his title in his hometown that evening.

      1997 began with more controversy for Jones. He suffered his first professional defeat at the hands of Montell Griffin, losing his world Light Heavyweight belt in the process. But the defeat was also filled with controversy, because Jones had dropped Griffin with what appeared to be a legal punch in round nine, and then hit him again on the head as Griffin was on the canvas, leading to Jones Jr.'s disqualification. They had an immediate rematch, and on August 21, Jones regained the world Light Heavyweight title by knocking out Griffin in the first round. By then, Jones had signed a lucrative contract with HBO, to have all his fights telecast on the HBO Boxing TV show.

      In 1998, Jones began by knocking out former Light-Heavyweight and future world Cruiserweight champion Virgil Hill in four rounds in a non-title bout at Biloxi, Mississippi. He followed that with a win against the WBA's world Light Heavyweight champion, Puerto Rico's Lou Del Valle, by a decision in 12 on July 18, to unify the WBC and WBA belts. In the fight with Del Valle, he had to climb off the canvas for the first time in his career, as he was dropped in round eight. Then followed a presentation against Otis Grant. He retained the crown in that fight by a knockout in ten.

        1999

        on June 5, he beat the IBF's world champion, Reggie Johnson, by a decision in twelve to add that belt to the WBC and WBA belts he already owned in the division.

        2000 began with a **** for Jones, as he beat David Telesco by a decision in twelve to retain the world championship, on January 15, on what was the Radio City Music Hall's first boxing show ever. Jones entered the ring that night surrounded by the famous group of dancers, The Rockettes. His next fight was also a first-time boxing event for a venue, as he travelled to Indianapolis and retained his title with an 11-round knockout over Richard Hall at the Conseco Fieldhouse. He ended the year by beating Eric Harding by a knockout in nine, once again retaining the title.

            In 2002, Jones retained his title, beating Glenn Kelly by a knockout in seven, and British Commonwealth champion Clinton Woods of England by a knockout in six. The Woods fight was held at the Rose Garden in Portland, and it was, once again, the first time boxing had been held at that venue, and also the first time in 45 years Portland had a world title boxing fight. Woods in particular impressed HBO commentators and many of the fans that saw the fight, proving to be a very lively challenger before being defeated.

            Jones then announced he would challenge John Ruiz for the WBA's world Heavyweight championship. On March 1 of 2003, he defeated Ruiz by a decision in twelve rounds, to become the first world Middleweight champion in 106 years (after Bob Fitzsimmons) to win the world's Heavyweight title, and the third world Light Heavyweight champion in history (after Michael Spinks and Michael Moorer) to win the world's Heavyweight title. This is considered a minor accomplishment, however, because Lennox Lewis, at the time, was regarded as the legitimate undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. Ruiz was ranked #5 by Ring Magazine at the time of the fight. The day before the fight, he, Ruiz and people in their entourages became involved in a press conference brawl, with Ruiz's manager requiring hospitalization.


            Talk about dominant.

            Let me just stop the story there. We were talking about "Prime" right?
