After Roy had beaten Ruiz I had Jones at about 10-12 all time p4p. His resmue was not the greatest even though people tend to forget about the Clear victories against a prime Toney and a green but still at that point borderline great Hopkins. He was something like 48-1 with a KO win in the first round after the DQ loss. Nearly 15 years boxing and you were hard pressed to see fighters win more than 2 rounds against him let alone get close to beating him. The chin, which in his prime was far from bad had not been exposed yet, so I had see a nearly perfect fighter talent wise. He was a 4 division champion (well 3 division champion, and a beltholder at heavy) the first to do that since Fitz 100 years before. Now I have moved him down obviously because he has been KO'd a couple times and was not completely "shot" when Tarver did it. Possibly weight drained and past his prime but not shot. Thoughts?
pure entertainment, style, courage, chatter, length of career puts him in my top 10. i'm hard pressed to put over 10 names before him, but then i'm only 30 and didn't witness the older generations of boxers.
