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.
    Come on Miles, I know you don't believe that lol
    Yes, Jones had bums on his resume
    Yes, he was still a once in a lifetime fighter.
    Fuck NO, Calzaghe would not have beat him. I do agree though that it would have been a lot more fun in their primes.
