JOnes hasent been himself since he beat Ruiz - he may benifit from a year or two layoff and then see how his heart is. Looking at the First Tarver fight it was obvious Jones was drained from the get go - but he ****** it up and pulled off an impressive win - I say impressive because it was the First time Jones had to dig. Second Tarver fight - clean hard shot - thats the way it goes when you are a super fast fighter who has never had to learn conventional fighting because of freakish skills. Those reflexes slip away slowly - but in the boxing game a little slip is big. In the Johnson fight - it wasn't even Jones. I was looking at it thinking about when he fought Bryan Brannon. He came at Jones the same way and Jones kind of leaned back and let the boy shoot for about a min - then he threw some of the fastest 8 and 12 punch combos boxing has ever seen. In the Johnson fight he was not there. I heard he didn't really train - the huricans had just hit his home and things were in chaos - he just didn't come in ready - and hats off to Johnson he did. Thats the danger of being on top - the other guy is ALWAYS going to bring his A game, I guess I should say almost always because there have been those real stinkers who have folded under the presents of Jones (Kelly, Fraisier ect...)
Can Jones ever fight with the heavyweights again?
