    Nope, Jones has plenty of money.

    The thing that's keeping him in the ring is denial.
    How do you know though? Personal friend? Work for his bank?

    What if Jones really isnt as shot to pieces as everyone thinks and that maybe Tarver, Johnson and Calzaghe would always have had his number?

    I think Jones fans would rather say jones is ruined than admit he got beaten by the better man

    I think Jones stops Sheika and early, Sheika has a decent chin and if Jones can do that I dont think hes shot, not just yet anyway

    And I think Calzaghe, Tarver and Johnson fans would rather say that then admit he was ruined

    It not about the guys he fought, just watch Jones performance in the ring. His movement, coordination, etc. he is clearly past it.

    He fought Ruiz and Woods exactly the same, he backed up to the ropes put the ear muffs on and tried rattling quick shots off, against better fighters like Tarver, Johnson and Calzaghe, it isnt going to be enough but he will still get away with it against Sheika and a few others.

    I say if he beats Sheika good and proper and gets his fans all excited, let him have his chance against Dawson.

    In Jones eyes, he lost to the best pound for pound fighter around his weight, so its not that bad, if he feel he has a genuine chance against Dawson, who is anyone to argue?

    I'll argue, the are a number of reasons that Sheika who is battle torn himself might not be able to perform
    #1 his left hand, high probability of re-injury
    #2 his right hand, high probability of re-injury
    #3 his knee, high probability of re-injury
    #4 slowed reactions

    No I don't think there is anything in a win over Sheika, that would give any evidence of how he would do against a young, fast, accurate Dawson who is now in his prime. Sheika to Dawson are about as opposites as you can get in the ring.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    I hope this is a farewell fight but if he looks good he'll stay on until someone else who couldn't have laced his gloves in his prime beats him.
