    No, just no.

    Jones was more talented than all of those boxers.

    Only Whitaker and Leonard were probably better.

    Jones had better technique but Manny had better offensive skills and landed more leads, Jones work-rate was much lower than Manny`s.

    That only indicates that Pac was greater.

    Not more talented.

    This is sadly quite true.

    Jones should have been clearly greater.

    I don't think there's a modern day fighter more "talented" than Roy. This ain't about who had the better career, this question is pure talent. Prime Roy was the most talented, physically gifted fighter I've ever seen. This is backed up by Roy's own peers.

    The news says we're not supposed to like Russians right now, so Pacquiao.

    He made it look so easy that it's hard for most observers to give him much credit. Toney was a defensive genius and and incredible all around fighter and quick weight cut or not to make a guy like that look so overmatched is nothing short of extraordinary

    He did, but it means very little.

    We all know that both juiced.
