    I appreciate the reply. I don't agree, but you've at least layed out your reasoning. To each his own.

    A case could be made for Louis. Nearly all of the fights in the first half of his career were just under 200 but all of those in his championship years were over. Langford is an enigma. He is near legendary among present day boxing historians but we have never seen him fight. Walcott is just outside the 16 in my opinion.
    Jirov, Haye, Toney and Quarry are all too good at that weight to be left off.

    I agree. It's a horrible match up for Jones.
