Well, you can have an opinion on who wins. I'm glad you think this is the type of fighter that keeps intrest in boxing. It's not mine. I have my own opinions about Trinidad/Mayorga. Simply because the things Spinks did so well against Mayorga, moving, countering, are all things Trinidad excelled at. No, I don't hate Mayorga, I don't discount his fighting, just his style. It's easily beaten for fighters willing to move, and not fight straight ahead. It's just a fact. Mayorga is a wild man in the ring, but he's not good enough or have enough boxing know-how to handle Trinidad, but that's another thread.


I don't think Jones' chin is in question either. He was hit with 8 or 9 GOOD right hands in that fight. There were some right hands even better then that one, that hit his chin. Apparently, you didn't watch the reply 400 times like they showed it on HBO, the punch didn't hit Jones' chin, either. It hit behind his ear, which is a pressure point. Take your hand, make a fist and push just behind/below your ear lobe, it's quite evident. It has nothing to do with a good chin. It's just like the kidney shot DLH took, the blow was right where it needed to be. You can research it yourself if you like.

Like I said, I don't consider Jones overrated. Jones was the best light heavy of his era. He lost his legs, he lost his speed, no lateral movement, even less punching power, he just can't do it anymore. That doesn't constitute being overrated. That constitutes age. There is a big difference.
