      Anyway from the list, he beats everyone but Spinks, he's too small...
      I gotta be honest dude you are pretty smug sometimes. Instead of putting..LOL or rofl or you are an idiot why dont you argue with the person in question intelligently. Everyone is entitled to their opinion thats why this is a forum. You have some really good things to say sometimes maybe you should more often.

        a prime jones jr would be a very challenging opponent, but if you watch his fight against an unseasoned Bernard Hopkins you can see that as his opponents boxing skills elevated Jones' physical advantages diminshed. I think if Jones and Hopkins would have met around the time when Hopkins fought Echols the outcome would have been much different. Jones against a prime Hagler would have been interesting until the later part of the fight when Hagler would have broke him down, out him against the ropes and beat him like a step child. Hearns had enough talent and power to trouble most Middle weights but jones wasnt most middle weights and he would probably, probably be just too much speed and natural power for Hearns. Leonard also small for a middleweight and I think he would get beaten as bad if not worse than what terri norris did to him. Jones is a great talent and i am amazed that he looked as good as he did against Hanshaw. He will defintely beat Tito's ass and if he does maybe that would preclude Hopkins Jones 2 at LH?

            Everyone else explained themselves just as much, only you disagree with us.

            Always remember that Hopkins priced himself out of a Jones rematch because he didnt want to get 40%, while it would have been his career high payday.

              Jones should hang them up, 5 years ago he would have knocked Hanshaw out.

                I have a reason to disagree. Any great fighter could beat up on bums and put on a show. Ruiz is and will always be a bum! What reason did RJJ have fighting Ruiz?? This didn't prove anything! He beat Hopkins and Jame Toney I give him that and??? Yeah!! And a 2nd fight with Hopkins he would have lost. Hopkins is the smarter and better fighter in my opinion. I just feel that you people hype him up to much.

                      most of the posters agree with me and weve given explanations, i suppose youre 3o years old or something, so you grew up watching those guys, and may be they were your super heroes and i respect that, so i wont insult you like you are doing to me...
