Stretching it a bit?
I think its debatable if Jones was still prime when he faced Ruiz, Miles. Clay who beat Liston even vs. Roy Jones who beat Ruiz. I'll take Roy.
Clay/Ali has an aura and deserves all the accolades, but he was not unbeatable.
Henry Cooper essentially KO'd him then Ali was given over 10 mins to recover when Dundee ripped open a glove. And no that is not a myth, it is a fact. One that has been recounted on documentaries and by Dundee himself.
Hulk by your equation a young Ali v Herbie Hide would have been a close contest too.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
