    Jones Footwork was close to the best footwork I have ever seen, something you just can't learn outside the boxing gym. His ability to move away from punchs, ones that landed had for the most part didn't really harm him. Yes Jones Athleticism was amazing, but his unorthodox approach was what made him, I'm sure the Olympic boxer, the man who boxed for the most part of his life, had great boxing technique but smothered his opponents with that superman like athleticism!

      We all saw his great technique when he slowed down, there wasn't any. His boxing fundamentals were poor.

          Jones problem was he didn't adjust after being Knocked Out Twice but at Age 35 when the technique that has made you unstoppable in almost 50 pro fights I can almost see why. If Jones fought like Hopkins after the Tarver lose, he might have been in Hopkins position.

              Funny how you'd compare a known roiders career to a suspected roiders career, both guys stats are tainted.

                Roy is greater and Manny Pacquiao wouldn't even be second or tenth from him.

                    Pac has at no point even been the best active fighter...and pretty much any weight class he and Marquez shared meant he was also not the best in that weight class... Love Pac as muh as anyone but this is silly.

                    Wtf lol.
