He isn't in my top 10 on accomplishments as his body of work isn't enough (head to head is a different matter though). Sure he beat Toney and Hopkins but neither man was at his best when they fought Jones. That's not to take away anything from Jones as he'd beat them even if they were at their bests. In saying that though I'd fancy him over many of the people I would have in my top 10.
