Comments Thread For: Mike Jones Talks Munoz Knockout, Facing Pacquiao Soon

[Tamis!]

Let me get one thing out of the way, I like this match up and I hope it happens. Either Jones or Bradley vs Pacquiao. But I doubt it happens. I wish I am proven wrong next year though. Either of those two will do it for me[should they still be undefeated going in to the fight]. A poor performance by either, changes everything.


With that out of the way.

1. Mike Jones was a heavily touted young fighter, BEFORE his poor performance against Karras. Don't just ignore that. That's just an ignorant post. Mike Jones is no loner the talk of the town like he was. Maybe another good win against a top fighter will get people talking about him again.


2. Manny Pacquao has been accused of ducking and dodging the slick African American style of boxing. Shane Mosley is not a slick African American, Mike Jones is not a slick African American. People also ignore this. Bernard Hopkins accused Pacquiao of never fighting a slick fighter, and that is the truth. And if you can sit there and call Mosley a slick fighter or Jones a slick fighter, then you're an idiot. Mosley, Jones, Bradley aren't slick fighters. But i'll tell you one thing, Timothy Bradley and Mike Jones are fighters with a pulse, young fighters, undefeated, not worn out. And that's why I would like to see either of them facing Pacquiao. But I just don't see Pacquiao taking those fights. I hope i'm wrong though.

IMO the reason Mike Jones almost lost to Sotto-Karras in the 1st fight was he was a dumbass going all out in the 2nd round trying to KO Karras, leaving himself gassed out and nothing left in the latter rounds. Young boxers like MJ will tend to have that mistake, especially facing a formidable fighter in Karras.

Which he rectified in the rematch and convincingly beating Karras.

I've got nothing about Pac choosing who to fight, coz everyone knows he's a yes-man to uncle Bob who calls the shots unfortunately, and that sucks!

Come on guys Jones is as ready as he's ever going to be. And PAC ain't a young guy, if he gets a shot it'd be ******ed not to take it.

Just out of interest, what do you think of the Mayweather / Ortiz fight ?

And what did you think when Manny turned Ortiz down because he was "too green" ?
