    I have him as a p4p ATG, resume-wise you can argue that he's subpar. Either way, first-ballot HOF'er. Great fighter who never got the great fights, simple as that.

    That ought to shut up the haters, but it probably won't.

    Not an ATG for sure, HOF at best in my opinion. He has the fighting ability to be an ATG but the resume is **** poor.

    Probably the undefeated record thing. His last wins over Lacy, Biko, Manfredo, Kessler, Jones and Hopkins were entertaining to the casual fan.
    Calzaghe will be considered an ATG in historic boxing circles whether some fans want to except it or not :yep

    I'm telling you while you may "think" Jones is "lacking in resume", his career and legacy is FAR greater then Calzaghes.

    He has two prime ATGs on it, he was the recognized P4P great while he was in his prime and he captured titles from Middle to Heavy :deal THOSE ARE 3 GREAT THINGS ABOUT HIS CAREER AND LEGACY!
