Ever hear of Evander Holyfield. He moved up in weight class and became a pretty good Heavyweight champion. He was cruiserweight champ in 1988. WOn the Heavyweight title for first time in 1990.

Yeah I heard of Evander Holyfield one of the best Cruiserweights ever. Now explain to me what he has to do with the light heavyweight division? Cruiserweights fight at 190, Light Heavyweights fight at 175.

Yes Jones played in a basketball game, all of what 5 or 8 minutes? He didn't play the entire game, he spent most of the time on the bench. The was a PR move, he probably expnaded more energy building up a sweat before his walk out to the ring. Lets remember he fought a non-threat that night as well. Jones has not been tested but that is the whole point, he has gotten to a comfort level that he has held over the course of the last I would say 8 years.

Jones is not dumb. He is an incredibly smart business man. He would not go into this fight if he thought thhere would be a problem of him winning.

Do you think any great fighter thinks they can ever lose? Do you honestly think Ali didn't go into the Holmes fight honestly believing he could beat Holmes? Plus Jones is everybit as egotistical as Ali was, but Ali had the right to be. Jones has been feeding on his own bullshit for so long, even he is starting to believe it.

Don't get me wrong, I think Jones is probably the purest athelet in almost any sport. I think he is the best I have probably ever seen, the mans skill is godly. But at Light heavy, Middleweight, & super middleweight.

Once again you mention his speed and power, no way he carries that upwards of an extra 25 pounds on his frame. Look at the difference between the sugar ray robinson at welter and the one at middleweight. Look what happened to even the great archie moore when he moved up, Michael Spinks, etc. They were all dominant and seemingly unbeatable at their lower weightclasses, then they moved up.
