thanks for posting this. thornton seemed like a good guy and was a decent fighter. after he lost to jones, thornton went to the post-fight conference. a reporter asked him what advice he would give to any up and coming fighters who would have to face jones. thornton replied, "stay away from him." :D good sense of humor even in a painful moment for him. rip champ.
