In a fresh conversation with Brian Custer, Jones Jr. took a dig at fans who try to steal away his credit. He said, “They saw so many of the greats Ali’s, Ray Robinson, and Samuel Sanchez, Marvin Haglers.

“They saw so much of the great people that knew in boxing, all combined in one. That’s what made me different. People try to take away my credit. Come on bro, who else they saw, not even Mike Tyson, the Ali footwork, Ali talking. Nobody, but nobody has ever come along and had so much of Roberto Duran, Julio Chavez, everybody, in one person,”
