Fighting at a different weight doesn't mean the fight was a no go! MW Hopkins backed out of a SMW clash with joe in 02!

Saying jones would beat everyone doesn't make it so!

And i don't need to explain how he avoided them i just have to point u to i.e 168lb Vinny pazienza or the likes of Glen kelly and point out the other fighters operating worldwide at the time!! Clear cherry picking really.

Now you are simply reaching.

Joe won a version of the 168 title in 1997

Jones beat McCallum and Griffin twice in 1997 at 175

He was not about to shed weight and come back to 168 to fight a newbie that nobody had ever heard of.
