Exceptional fighter yes but clearly a cherry picker. Bryd would have been an interesting fight @ HW rather than Ruiz who was taylor made for a style like jones'...So Sorry but if he had of fought all of the above he would have been beaten sooner IMO. There is no evidence to suggest otherwise no matter how much u idolise him!
How old are you? I ask because your timings seem to be out a bit. Jackson was on the slide when Jones was jobbed as an amateur in Seoul. Benn, Eubank, Rochigianni, Nunn, McClellan and co were a little too early for Jones. Most were ex world champions by Jones' 25th birthday. Maske was retiring when Jones made his debut at the weight.
He can't win. He gets slated for facing a past it McCallum, but slated for not facing other faded ex champs.
