Trinidad excelled at lateral movement. While not as fast, moving side to side was somthing he was good at. You have to remember too, Mayorga hand speed will be a little bit slower then fighting Spinks as well. He's put on weight to get to Trinidad. He's also a good counter puncher, another thing Spinks did very well against Mayorga.

Jones never avoided anyone in his class, it was the people outside his class that they call him a chump for avoiding, and that's exactly my point. Hopkins called him out when he was training to go to 190. That fight had no chance of happening then. Lennox retired, and James Toney had his chance, and chose to move up and fight Holyfield. There was no one for him to fight. He's natrually talented at being fast, and counter punching, dodging, throwing little jabs, and all the other boxing no-can-do's that no one else can do, but him. Once you lose the talent of speed when you fight like Jones, you just can't fight anymore. He's lost it. That once great lateral movement is gone. He's not overrated, people just can't deal with the fact he's not as good as he was. That's not what being overrated is. You can't call Ali overrated for getting beated by Holmes, he just wasen't as fast, or as good as he used to be.
