From the Wikipedia article:

"Jones left his mark in boxing history when he won the WBA Heavyweight title, becoming the first former middleweight champion to win a heavyweight title in 106 years. Jones was named "Fighter of the Decade" for the 1990s by the Boxing Writers Association of America."

He was a pretty big deal.

I still remember the Seoul Olympics when Jones was cheated out of the gold medal after soundly defeating the Korean.
