    At least 2 of the belt holders at 175 are beatable.

    If he carries on until 2010 could he pick up another title?

    Yes I think he could. It might not make the best sense money-wise though.

    He plans on fighting Danny Green for the IBO cruiserweight title if both of them win their upcoming fights.

    Yeah and maybe if Hopkins fight Adamek (for IBF and Ring) and manage to beat him, he will fight Jones in a unification (leaving recognition of IBO besides).

    AND THEN, finally they have their long awaited rematch and both can FINALLY retire!!:D:D:D

    Jones can't take a punch. He has an abysmal Glass Jaw.

    With 4 belts per Division (5 if you count the IBO) of course he can cherrypick a belt but it would not mean anything unless he beats THE Champion of that Division.

    Let's not forget Jones has NEVER beat a Unified, Linear, or Undisputed Champion in his whole career. :deal

    I believe James Toney was linear at super middleweight.

    Very possible. A shot Jones is still better than 85% of the other boxers. He would beat Pascal IHMO. Campillo? Erdei? Maybe a cruiserweight champ? Could beat Valuev (a la Ruiz) no?

    Not unless he goes to work in the men's section at Dillards

    Toney was linear at SMW and the favorite to win that fight. He made Toney look like a tomato can.

    When he went to light heavy there was no linear champion, just like there was none at Middleweight either. He unified ALL belts available in boxing at light heavyweight, he BROUGHT the linear title in a division that didn't have it.

    I reckon even today he'd beat Zsolst Erdei, who a lot of people recognize as the linear LHW champion. That might still be cherrypicking a belt but there is no real LHW champ. It wouldn't surprise me if he done that so he could retire saying he was the world champ.
