The bar set for Jones was to be the best ever - he failed. However he ended up one of the best and a great fighter.

Jones beat a top 5 160 and never lost at the weight.
He beat a top 5 168 and never lost at the weight.
He did everything I said at 175 and heavy and never really lost.

Then suddenly when he hit 36 or so after having boxed since he was 8 or something he loses and his record begins to look like Robinson, Charles, Leonard etc However it appears the bar is set differently.

Jones was meant to be the best ever, he failed. He simply never had that drive. You need to yearn for it. You need to crave that recognition - Jones didn't. This doesn't mean he won't get his rightful ranking as a great fighter.

I almost agree with that 100%... Griffin beat him legit; but Jones did redeem himself and how in the rematch.
