    If you don't have Jones inthe top 15 lt heavies, then you don't know what the hell you are talking about in this subject.

    Quite possibly, but I don't believe Spinks beat anybody that Jones would not have been able to handle either.


    I think Mccallum would have given Spinks more trouble than he did Jones.

    But in the end, Jones was still faster, still had better defense, and was equal to close in every other category. Plus he put together a better title reign than Spinks.

    40 year old Mike McCallum? I'm a big McCallum fan but I question whether he could have gone the distance with a prime Spinks.

    I don't necesarrily think he would win, just give spinks trouble inthe fight. I don't think Spinks could knock him out.

    Almost exactly how I would rank them, except I might switch Conn and Loughran.

    Is this the same McCallum Curry stunned? Spinks is a great chance of getting an old McCallum out of there. His power is murder.

    And was floored and wobbled several times by Fabrice Tiozzo even before Jones fought him.

    Qawi (a bonafide pressure fighter with a fantastic two fisted arsenal and excellent body attack) doesn't land a punch vs Jones? Wtf :lol:

    I'm far from convinced Jones would beat the aged Holmes either.

    The weight drained Mustafa would be dangerous too.

    Eddie Davis is dangerous even, a fine banger and competitor.

    Spinks has the potential to near murder the guy over 15. McCallum isn't cutting it at 175 vs the greats.

    Keith seems to be just another oe blinded by Jones' flashyness.

    Loughran and Conn are virtually interchangeable and definitely at the top of the list, though which one is at #1 or #2 I still can't decide.

    I would say Conn would be higher in a P4P sense but i would favour Louyghran slightly in a LHW list.
