His chin has likely always been suspect, but taxi drivers are not known as kryponite. Calzaghe would always have beaten Jones Jr. That would actually have been very fun, their eventual matchup was a whitewash travesty. Asides from that KD, Jones was schooled. But hey, if Toney can be weightdrained, then I can excuse Jones Jr. for being half shot.
People will find an excuse for anything. Toney and hopkins have said in the past that their only real losses they felt were against roy jones.
Jones is special and a true pound for pound.
