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 Sugar Ray Robinson Henry Armstrong Harry Greb Muhammad Ali Ezzard Charles Roberto Duran Willie Pep Joe Louis Benny Leonard Archie Moore Sam Langford Carlos Monzon Sugar Ray Leonard Joe Gans Eder Jofre Gene Tunney Marvin Hagler Rocky Marciano Jimmy Wilde Mickey Walker Manny Pacquiao Jack Johnson Jack Dempsey Kid Gavilan Barney Ross Ike Williams Pernell Whitaker Tony Canzoneri Sandy Saddler Julio Cesar Chavez Bob Fitzsimmons Michael Spinks Stanley Ketchel Billy Conn Charley Burley Jose Napoles Emile Griffith Bob Foster Larry Holmes Alexis Arguello Joe Walcott Salvador Sanchez George Foreman Joe Frazier Tommy Hearns Jimmy McLarnin Jake LaMotta Ruben Olivares Terry McGovern Floyd Mayweather
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.
once again, revolting false accusations from an esb minnion :dead i can only equate it to envy, self inadequacies, and petty jealousy :deal
marvelous post 46 :happy that is quite simply some of the finest movie footage ever collated in the long history of despicable glass jaws :happy
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.
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.
