    100% no. Once he had achieved his goals I thought he would hang them up. It really saddens me that he continues to fight, getting stopped by guys he would have obliterated in his prime.

    A phenomenal boxer in his prime. Anyone too young, or new to boxing, needs to get on youtube and get the fights watched!

      No. Jones was just that fast, and made decent opposition look amateurs in there. Jones was a smart boxer, with ring intelligence. No way the current crop hang in there, maybe Ward, but I still think Jones would have him out of there. No way does Froch or Kessler even touch him at his best.

                he tested positive once, it was a product recently added to the banned list it was something you could buy at GNC at the time, but the funny thing is his opponent was on the same stuff and had a greater amount of the PED in his system and still got whooped, i never considered that a tainted win it was an even playing field

                  Jones multiple hooks was something to watch.

                    His opponent was a kindergarten teacher or something.

                      And ironically he was on the HBO commentary team for one of old Foreman's fights, and if I remember well he said he would not try to fight at Foreman's age. He's now 44 years old...
