Your sentences are a little choppy here, so I'm sure exactly what you're saying.
But I think the argument people are making here is that Mayweather is a more classically trained boxer than Jones. Jones was a great fighter, but his style was more unorthodox and improvisational. He wasn't really based as much on the fundamentals. He hardly ever jabbed, he didn't block a ton of punches with his gloves. He didn't role with punches or use his shoulder to block punches. And he didn't need to, he was so athletically gifted that he could get away with things that other fighters can't.
Mayweather is also very talented, but he's also tremendously well-schooled. He is very "textbook" in many aspects of his fighting style.
