don't ever compare jones or any other fighter to those elite fighters, like haggler, hearns, leonard, robinson, it's just a different ERA....as well as legacy

Where as Jones had the longevity, Leonard had the substance in his resume.

The only thing that makes this a close comparison is Jones' venture up to heavyweight, but Leonard still gets the nod.

Why not ?

If Jones and them were in that era you might not have ever heard of some of the people from those eras.

It's still the same sport, they still do the same job .

This isn't Jordan Vs Walt, it's Jordan Vs Kobe.

To me it's a no brainer, Leonard has wins over 4 all time greats in Benitiz, Duran twice, Hearns and Hagler.
