    I have Jones at #20 all time and Whitaker #23 all time, and i'm pretty happy with that - but i've run into quite a few guys who object and insist/suggest that Whitaker should be higher?

    Who do you think should be higher on an all time p4p list?

    Who was the top man taking all things into account from skillset to rusume to character to physicality to punching to defence and everything in between?

    I used to be a Jones fan and i used to hate on Whitaker but i grew up.
    Whitaker seemed more aggressive in proving he was the best while he
    was in his prime to me. Jones always seemed a little reluctant to me for
    some reason. Whitaker fought Chavez in his the Mexicans backyard almost
    but Jones wouldnt leave the country to fight Calzag or that German guy(Michalchswhatever) but cant really blame him after the Olympics.
