Please dont encourage him with a 4th Tarver fight :P. Johnson I could stomach but I dont think Jones would want those fights at all,Risk/reward ratio way off Imo.He wants and now believes he has earned a direct line to the top with Calzaghe and Hopkins.At this point why go backwards?
With respect to a great warrior in Trinidad,I think Jones is kidding himself if he believes a sustained drubbing over a natural welter who had gone 2-2 in 6 + years indicates he has been reborn and could duplicate it with Calzaghe,Hopkins,or even Johnson and cough....cough Tarver.Imo Jones wanted to prove something to himself ,that he still had it and could adjust with his new reality of age and vulnerability's.He seemingly rebounded nicely,put on some aggression,mixed in some old school razzle dazzle and dictated.Well done and a nice step but he is will not be what he once was Imo,none of us are......ecspecially in the buisness of fist-to-cuffs
I think he and a few of us should step back & take a deep breath before we dust off the P4P talk.

Felix Trinidad,thanks for the memories and great career.Always an honest fighter who brought it in some good firefights,climd off the canvas and did his best to deposit his opponents there.Yeh,Cocky as hell sometimes.....most of the time but gave everything and wore his heart on his sleeve.Much respect!
