If Roy Jones Jr Retired after the Ruiz Fight, would he be considered top 10, top 5?

Roy Jones career after that fight really has no impact on my opinion of his ranking. What keeps him out of the top 5 - 10 was the quality of his opposition way before the Ruiz fight even took place.
But he's arguably one of the greatest talents the sport as ever seen.

You dont get bumped down for losing. You can only get bumped up for winning
Its just the wins that count, otherwise holyfield is like the #57 HW

Haven't followed the sport thoroughly enough to know where to rate him, but I can tell you I don't think any less of him now. Never understood the whole "he's diminishing his legacy" couldn't disagree more with that.

The overrating would be worse, but he would be correctly ranked in any serious discussions, like he is now.
Going back down and beating Tarver was extremely important to his legacy, and makes a greater case for a higher ranking than if he had retired after Ruiz.
