    Yep and against a little obese Mexican middleweight too LOLOL
    Jones had over 50 fights and was 35 until he had his first real loss

    Lets see how AJ compares with 20 more fights and another 5 plus years boxing

    Only a moron would box on for that long at heavyweight lol.

    Jones Jr chose to carry on as long as he did, so we have to review his career according to that. He didn't suddenly become a different person because he chose to fight on past what he should!

    He hid that glass jaw for a good while, but boy when it was exposed that was one serious paper mache mandible!! The signs were already there when he got decked hard in the Del Valle fight . He has to be put alongside Amir Khan, Tommy Hearns and David Price.

    What do you mean "review his career according to that"? Ali fought on to long, but the loss to Berbick has no bearing on his career apart from being proof that he fought on for too long. That often happened and it is certain that Jones carried on too long. Like everyone, I wish he had quit sooner. But the Jones from the end of his career, being knocked out by mediocre fighters, doesn't mean he was any less magnificent back when he was at his peak

    It’s changed a bit since last time I answered this question

    No particular order again:
    David Benavidez
    Naoya Inoue
    Ryan Garcia
    Agit Kabayel
    Artur Beterbiev

    Zhilei Zhang would be in my top 5 but he’s all but retired. And if he isn’t retiring soon, he should

    Yeah
    Otherwise we could argue that Jake Paul should be ranked higher than Mike
