    i was tempted to say hearns before jones but pick jones due to his stand out natural talent. those two are a long way ahead hopkins i reckon.

    Jones was the greatest

    I cant seperate Hopkins & Hearns.


    Oddly enough, I was recently thinking what good fights Hearns v Hop & Hearns v Jones would be.

    Ps. its RJJs utter dominance up until he was mid 30s that tells me he was the greatest.

    Hearns fought the best competition, probably by a wide margin. But Jones' dominance at his peak was nearly unprecedented.

    Hopkins and Hearns both fought tougher competition than Roy ever thought about fighting.

    can you explain how Hearns a 6division world champion has less acheivments or a lesser resume then Hop or jones?

    but anyways....i'd say when you factor it all together, attributes, skill, resume, acheivements, and legacy it would go: Hearns, Jones, Hopkins
