im confused here.. it seems when guys like ali, robinson, louis, leonard, duran, tyson and chavez are judged people just erase all the losses out of the equation because they were not "prime" anymore.

so do you rate guys like jones in totality of the entire career or do you just focus on the "prime" years? what is your method here and where do you place him historically?

What's to be confused about? It's all Boxing history man. Know the stories of the fighters and it's pretty obvious right?

I always rate prime. When they were at their best.

I rate Jones 2nd best of all time right behind Robinson. Pep was good, but if they were each others size, Jones would catch him.

I'll second that. Despite the relative thinness of talent in some of the divisions he competed in, he was the consensus number one p4p by such a wide margin and so much better than his opposition for nearly a decade that I would would conservatively put him between 15-20 all time.

Why would you factor the years of him being past his best as a gauge on his ranking? him being 40+ years old and getting KTFO reflected on what he was doing when he was 25-30 years old? It is ALWAYS the prime years to be the center of the equation because it was their mental and physical state where at their, and once their best years are behind them, any additional win/achievements would just be an icing on the cake and any additional losses on their careers would not matter.

He is easily in the top 15. With 2 prime ATG wins (Hopkins-Tony)

Well there's that. But my stance remains clear, any losses if you re way past your best does not affect your legacy regardless of who you are.

Top 15-20 imo
