    Where do you all have him both in all time P4P rankings and in all time middleweight rankings?

    I'd say he's fringe top 10 at middleweight and fringe top 50 pound-for-pound.

    There are SO many greats through history at 160, it is really hard to tell exactly where Jake would fit in, but he deserves to be.
    Jake fought in a highly competitive era
    Jake fought out of his weight class often
    Jake had 6 tough competitive fights with the greatest of all, Sugar Ray
    One thing for sure, Jake would mug Jermaine Taylor.
