I've said it before: fighters who depend on their natural ability will fall off quickly. Guys like Jones and Ali eventually find that they can't get away with backward movement and other boxing no-noes. Nonetheless, Jones (except for his last two fights), has always been a delight to watch because of his slickness. Who else could use a jumping left hook like a jab so indiscriminately?
As for the future of boxing, just forget your heavyweight bias and look to the lower weight classes.
