    Top rank really expected him to Be something. He had the talent and physical ability. But he clearly didn't advance as a top level fighter.

    I remember when he fought soto karass and had soto hurt. He let it all go and couldn't get rid of him.

    I told my friend who was next to me,jones is in serious trouble, his upper body is huge and his legs and tiny, and he won't get a second wind for a long time.

    Soto was on him the rest of the fight. IMO like a lot of black fighters with physical ability, technique, and natural talent, he didn't understand the difference of boxing when Ne got to the top level, and never got better.

    Seems to be a common theme with black fighters over the last 5 years or so.

      promotional issues, tried to get out of a contract with one of his promotor's last year (boxingscene).

      He's trying to make a comeback, but he's more or less in a limbo (Hype),

      pretty much I haven't fought because I haven't been proposed a fight where as though I was gonna get paid the money that I was looking for. But it's been almost 2 years now and I'm gonna have to go ahead and bite the bullet and take a fight. But I really didn't want to deal with the people that I was dealing with, but I guess I'm gonna have to.
      I reached out to Russell Peltz. I would have liked to reach out to Top Rank, but see, with Top Rank and Russell Peltz, they actually quote 50/50 on my contract, so if I talk with Top Rank, they tell me I gotta talk with Russell Peltz. But I would have liked to talk with Top Rank and asked them to put me on a card out here in Vegas because they do a lot of cards out here. There is no give. They don't want to negotiate at all. So then I talk to Russell Peltz and Russell Peltz, there is no give there as well. He don't want to give me no extra money because I haven't fought in so long. It's like, "Okay, give me a little bit of training money," but there is no give. They don't want to give at all. I only lost one fight. I just feel that it was wrong for them to treat me the way that they treated me for losing one fight, and the one fight I lost was for a world title.

                Just think it was terrible of them to just turn their back on the guy after one loss.
