Atleast MAB when he fought Manny Pacquiao a 2nd time, was coming off a controversial decision loss to one of the top P4P fighters in the world JMM. And Erik Morales was still a good fighter in the first 2 fights with Manny Pacquiao, he was completely shot after though.
Jones couldnt deal wih Joes workrate, he would have been fine against a guy who fought a normal moderate pace, his legs looked good he was moving , wasnt giving in and was brave.. still showed handspeed when he through and stunned Joe a few times with power..
Jones wasnt the Jones we marveled at but he is still a pretty good fighter
I was actually pretty disappointed with RJJ, Joe Calzaghe was standing right infront of him with his hands down. And RJJ didn't do anything, and he didn't counter nearly as much as i thought he would.
I just watched a prime RJJ yesterday jeez what a difference, it didn't even look like the same fighter to the version that fought Joe Calzaghe.
I think problem is that RJJ hasn't got the killer instinct no more, and that showed in the 3rd Antonio Tarver fight.
And even more alarmingly in his comeback fights, he had Felix Trinidad, Anthony Hanshaw, in huge trouble and he couldn't finish them off. Plus he didn't have the stamina in any of those fights either.
RJJ still has speed but he doesn't put combinations together JT, which was one of his best attributes. Its all one punch at a time, ever since RJJ moved down from Heavyweight he has looked pretty poor in most of his fights IMO.
