    Not to take anything away from Johnson but he got Jones at the right time.

    Jones being great is debatable.
    if roy was fightin P4P as you say, he would be great in any era. just i guess as ezzard charles would be

      Joe Walcott was a journeyman in the early part of his career, he became a great fighter.

        if he became a great fighter, he would have finsihed the job off convincingly against louis and marciano, he lost twice officially to the best legitimate heavyweights of his era. he's not an all time great

            We'll just agree to disagree.

                  i cant agree with something as absurd as this. i mean calling walcott great is extreme, calling him an all time great, i mean......it's just inapropriate to question another person's knowledge which you did after making a statement like that

                      I was impressed with his skills and I always said, he can be great. Whether he is great, is debatable.
