Jones is still capable of literally competing but he is no where near the dynamo he once was,That is painfully obvious.His stamina wavers,he is hit and rushed much more,and in his last high caliber championship match with Tarver,his legs were sticky,getting caught and he was fighting in spurts.He has managed to climb back from the brink over three smart return fights capped off with a huge name match up with another great in Trinidad,this combined with his legacy and greatness have helped to springboard him into another big time go at the championship level and we will truly see what he has left.Personally,I'd like to see him win but do not think it will happen.I think Joe will force him to exert and work his legs/stamina a great deal.Should he turn back the clock for a win,shame on me and all credit to the man indeed.

I believe Jones was always more gifted with natural athletic instincts,lightning reflexes and timing more so than all around textbook boxing 101 fundamentals.He may not have been busted up much in career but age and ring years catch up to all fighters,specifically one with eye catching reflexes.Alot of it may be emphasized in Jone's case because of how high he actually was in the game....fairly or unfairly we have come to expect and are used to such a untouchable level of expectations he has displayed throughout the majority of a high profile career.
