I would favor Curry to beat Forrest. Good fight, though.
Jones never fought Stracey, he did knockout Kirkland Laing twice when trailing on points, he could hit, make no mistake.ojing-a wrote:The point I was trying to make was that Forrest has shown the ability to handle a raging bull like Caldormir, whereas McCrory was simlpy outmuscled by a much smaller Jones. Jones, Baldomir and Mayorga are about the same level but I think Jones is the least threaning of them. IMO Jone's a little bit textbooky, and is not cut in the mold of a rough and tumbel warrior like Maorga or Baldomir. Mayorga--as crude as he is--can take out any opponent with a single shot. Jones didn't not have a single-knockoutpunch like that. He threw like over thousnad punches and still couldnt beat down that old man Stracey. It it was Mayorga in there Stracey would carried out in the 3 or 4 th roundArbachakov wrote:Colin Jones was nothing like Baldomir.
He was a stalking textbook fighter with terrific punching power and good offensive skills, albeit one-dimensional.
IMO watching Forrest's incompetent and panicky displays against the even more limited and sloppy Mayorga(who was nothing like Honeyghan either)it's difficult to imagine he would not have even more difficulty with Jones than McCrory did, so i wouldn't use him to seperate the two.
