    Jones stopping Tate is indeed one of his more impressive wins.Tate was tough as nails.

    To be fair to Jackson though, he had major eye problems by then and i thought that fight among others at the time was evidence his balance was going and he didn't have many years left at the top.I'd say his prime ended after the damage done against Graham.

    Ok. Let's agree to disagree then.

    Do anyone disagree with this? If not, it says a lot about Jone's perceived effectiveness even at this weight, 'Cause these guys are all absolute nightmares for any other MW h2h, imo. But I think Jones would look several of them look foolish. He just was that good in his prime.

    Nunn, Toney, Jones jr. or McCallum.

    H2h jones is a beast and there's no denying it. He might have missed jackson, benn, liles and dm but he'd have been a clear favourite over them all imo considering his all round dominance against everyone else he fought.

    But as a mw career i'm going with toney here.
