although just short of the best...and i suppose off topic...was sugar boy malinga..he was a handful for all the best super middles
He did beat Toney at 168 though, so of course Jones is going to be on a top list of 168 pounders, especially considering the division is only what around 20-30 years old.
people will have you beoleive everyone he faced was robbed...he didnt look good once in his career personally. but he did have a good run and did mix upwith good company. i personally feel that reid,johnson,brewer,tate,starie,mitchell and larson should of got the win....technically speaking won the fight. reid,johnson,mitchell all outworked and outboxed him. the rest got close by beating him up but not dominating the rounds. larson i think planned to play the game in reverse and try to not do that much and mimic him hoping to win the judges eye would be drawn to him.
i said he had his best win at super middlewieght... but he was his most destructive best at light heavy.
i rate him a real top supermiddle. he wasnt incredibly talented but he used a good defence and a good jab and move style. nice corss and hook but it was defintly his jab that won him fights. he was one of rpy jones best vicitims especially as he was stopped by roy.
RJJ is out on his own IMO with joe c in a distant second which is nothing to be ashamed of:good by any means
Head to heads are pointless...when are you going to get that in your ****ing heads. Head to heads..are just opinion...they did not happen..they are not facts. Greatness is what you have accomplished..what actually happened inside the ring. Joe Calzaghe is the greatest supermiddle weight of all-time.
RJJ was more talented than JC but did not achieve as much as JC at SMW so how can people say he was the best of all time at the division. RJJ was dominant at LHW at did greater things at that weight.
