If anyone here is retired and/or has the time and someone who cares. We should start a online petition requesting he retires. I'm sure he won't listen to us because his kids are probably pleading for him to retire but it may make the news. (Hopeful thinking). Something positive might come out of that, like fighters unwilling to fight him anymore....ect. Again, this is hopeful thinking.

Damn, that sh*t's gonna hit him like a ton of bricks.
What's sadly ironic is that Jones said many years ago he didn't want to end up like Quarry or Ali.

He was probably experimenting with British sarcasm and was making a joke that we didn't get. In America, it would've gone more like "I'M TRYING TO AVOID ENDING-UP LIKE ALI, LOOOOOOL (I'm not)"
