There will be no rematch, there is no money in it for Jones. Jones said last night, it was most likely his last fight, unless it was Mike Tyson. You may not ever see Jones fight again. Besides, Jones would beat his ass in a rematch properly conditioned.

Jones didn't use an excuse for anything. Larry Merchant asked him, and he said it was part of the reason he was so tired. He didn't make excuses, he answered what he was asked. He was winded, he was tired. He took the fight because someone stood up, called him out, he took the fight, He had 6 months to prepare. He had to lose 27 pounds (His walking wheight was was around 202 Foreman said). It's hard to go down, Jones gained enough muscle to be a heavyweight. He had to lean himself out, and exhaust himself everyday to get to where he was. He was hardly properly conditioned.

And he STILL won. And he DID win. If you think otherwise, you didn't watch the fight. He lost 20 poinds to get there in 6 months. Leaned himself, and still beat Tarver. I love Jones haters, they can't deal with the fact he's just simply the best, and one of the best pound for pound of all time.

People need to quit reading ESPN and the people criticizing him for the fight. Give him a little respect losing wheight to meet this guy, and fighting, and winning. It's not easy to lose 20 pounds when you have NO body fat. If they think it's a sign of Jones being weak, or losing his stuff, they're idiots.
