    Top 10 - no way
    Top 20 - he'd be hard pressed to get in
    Top 30 - can make a case but easily refutable
    Top 40 - can make a good / strong case
    Top 50 - he is definitely in

    I ranked him borderline top 10, which is GREAT! In head to head and prime for prime match-up he whips 80% of the best fighters from middleweight to heavyweight with ease.

    Roy Jones ranks definitely ahead of all those in bold.

    You bolded around 20 names, which would put Jones within top 30. Like I said, he could make a case for top 30 although the exclusion of boxers such as Carlos Monzon, who many consider to be the top 2-3 middleweight of all time, can make the inclusion of Jones in the top 30 easily refutable.

    If Leonard retired before fighting Camacho, top 10. Otherwise, 70.

    Roy Jones Jr. in his prime was a one of a kind fighter. Not a 100 of a kind fighter, so I have a hard time not putting him in the top 50. But even though I rate other fighters higher than him at light heavyweight based on accomplishments, I think at his best he would beat any of them.

    Prime for Prime, he'd beat the man in your avatar. That is all.
