Donaire. Jones would be shit in a fight nowadays

[Master]

Jones was good but he was vulnerable to very good fighters. Donaire is a quality fighter and he would knock Jones out.

Jones beat barrera; Barrera was better than Donaire. Jones was one of those guys that made a career out of being taller and bigger than opponents. Other than that, he wasn't much. Barrera got careless and got caught. Thought he won the rematch, which was scored on who threw more punches, not boxing.
Donaire never showed me much; I tried to get into him when he was on top but he didn't show me much. In boxing today skill has been replaced by the ability to manage weight fluctuation vis a vis one's height to procure unfair match ups.

Can't disagree with any of that. Jones wasn't a great fighter and he was chinny, but he could punch. Donaire hasn't beaten anyone better imo and he's not hard to hit at all these days, I really feel there are a handful of guys who would destroy him on current form if they made the fights, at bantam or featherweight.

I got Poison, more so at 122. Natural size and he knew how to fight his range with snap power at the end. Problem was same as Nonito...they both fall in love with it and could get sloppy. You could see what happened to Donaire coming...sitting, loading up on one bomb and the babble about "5 division champ" blah blah was writing on the wall when he faced someone of like size and solid ground game who called bs on him. Jones struggled weight as 118 went and I attribute lose to Johnson to stamina as much as 'chin'. Jones had a chip on his shoulder and frankly proved he could live more boxing or with accurate power. Barrera did what he always did and it was no fluke...Jones stood with him and rifled the right hand for finish. It reads 'dq' and I love Mab...but make no mistake that was a KO. Jones relied too much on Barrera charging forward in rematch and Marco discovered this wonderful thing called diversity in style but I had Jones winning rematch by 2 points. That was an awesome fight! Nonito was reading the headlines and even in his last fight didn't have the gears to outbox Darchinyan... and relied on trap power. I think Jones would punch holes through that posturing and posing for a soild tko win.
