    Many different criteria's honestly even though Tarver is a better name than Griffin I think the way RJJ dispatched of Griffin in 1st round in probably his most aggressive destructive performance ever for me it deserves a mention.

    The Tarver win is kind of important to his Legacy in my view. That was a win Roy had to grind out, it was close and Jones showed determination and a solid chin.

    Something like that definitely. Might actually put Malinga at 4, though.

    Yeah, after the top 3 it gets tight. Malinga is certainly in the mix as well.

    I don’t think that you could put him that high.

    Because you have the Hill and Griffin wins.

    But I would honestly struggle to do a top 5.

    He has 10 quality wins.

    It shows that he has a better resume than what most people think.
