Here is Doug Jones a very slippery customer of the early 60's who exceleld at two weights. Pls note this is only his heavyweight rating.

If I dony mention it then you know I agree with the rating already listed on his heavy rating in the game.

STANCE - Left Handed. Im using this to reflect that most fighters didnt look good against Jones or produce their best performances, he was a spoiling, slippery fighter as a young Cassius Clay found.

COVER UP -3. Up one. He managed to spoil and go into his shell often in a fight and could be quite hard to prise open once hurt.

CLINCHING -73. Degraded three steps. He was quite good at stopping a fighter working on the inside and this is reflected here, also quite strong for a small heavy.

CONDITIONING -10. He was sometimes the very definition of a malcontent, always seemingly unhappy with how his career was panning out, in his defence he was often overlooked but it sometimes made him erratic.

CONTROL VS BOXER AND SLUGGER -11/10. Both up one, despite his small size and really being only a blown up light heavy he still managed to control most of his bouts until you really reached the top cream of the division.

CHIN VS KNOCKDOWN -3. Degraded one step, he had a good chin but not a great one and could be hurt at heavyweight, where in truth he fought very few true power punchers, this is more a reflection of he was not a true heavy than any perceived weakness here.

ABSORB PUNISHMENT -2. Improved one step, he was only tko'd once against Chuvalo which I feel is not enough to give him a three here. Overall he withstood punishment well and was brave.

AGRESSIVNESS -6. A very cautious fighter more so at heavy where he let guys come to him and evolved into more of a counterer.

DEFENCE -2. Improved one step, he was a slippery defensive fighter very good at shutting off his opponents offense, I would make this rating better but he was a small heavy so had natural problems with reach etc.

FAST STARTER -3. Degraded one step, he was a slow starter who did take some time to get going in bouts.

HITTING POWER -7. He was quite an underatted puncher who took out Foster, Folley, Von Clay and Olson in his day as well as many others, his style was sometimes similar to Folley where his punches although not truly powerful were hurtful and snappy.

COUNTERPUNCHING -40. Improved one step, at heavy he was a counterer and very clever and this reflects that, his natural disadvantages at this weight stop me increasing this or punching any more but he was above average here.

OVERALL RATING -9. Up two, he is underated by the game as a heavy at the moment, this rating will see him rise to mid way in your top ten list and maybe challenge for the crown, for sure he will be the kind of fighter no one wants to face and would give anyone a hard frustrating night, but not quite hall of fame material and sometimes inconsistent.
