    Can't believe people believe Paz is Jones' 10 best wins. Woods is more deserving of a slot than Paz.

    What if Robinson fought Basilio at welterweight?

    Fullmer was a mediocre pressure fighter with little or no defensive skills. Malinga was a better boxer, actually, better defensive skills.

    That's why he was dropped multiple times by non-punchers.

    Nah, he was a great one. Though he had done basically nothing up to that point to suggest he was an elite fighter. Was still trying to scrap solidifying himself as top ten material. It's easy to say Jones was better than anybody Ray stopped at MW, but the opposite is even far more true and glaring.

    I'd throw in Jorge Castro and Thomas Tate as better wins than Trinidad and Pazienza as well and probably Sugarboy Malinga and Clinton Woods also.

    Agreed that was a ****ing garbage article as well.

    You people need to realise that some people may read that and think you guys are serious. So, stop the goofing around.

    No Jones is not in Robinson´s league. Jones could have been but instead became a big disappointment, going the easy way instead of the hard one, ending up with a mediocre legacy - in comparison with other greats.
