A 126 lb fighter who never moved up is considered Top 10 of All-Time over Jones as well. Your argument is dead on arrival my friend and can't be revived.

Plus, the higher classes are harder to move up. GGG if he started pro young could have started at 154, maybe should have.
MW to SMW is the hardest jump. I do think GGG will win a title at 168 and at least try for Ward or Kov.
I do think it augments though, but winning more titles in more classes doesn't automatically put you above.
If that was the case right now Canelo would be better than GGG, and I just don't think it's the case--especially since both of Canelo's titles were won buy beating a guy who was in the weight class below or belonged there.
Hatton and Cotto both gave up size. And even winning the title from Smith is good, but not great.
I think Canelo will be a hof though.

popkins moved to 175 after 2 loses to jermain taylor popkins was past 40 when he went to 175 popkins just don't want Triple GGG to break his record of 20 defenses thats why he keeps telling Triple GGG to leave 160 its for popkins own selfish reasons popkins don't like white people he's racist
