Jones wasn't half the fighter at LHW he was at SMW. He even retired from boxing in '96, but has ended up hanging around for 10 years because HBO let him choose his opponents - it was easy beating taxi drivers and firemen twice a year on boring decisions.
A greatest list has have something to do with achievement. He was only at Super Middle for 2 years and about 5 or 6 World Title fights, He was a Light Heavy for the best part of a decade with close to 20 world Title fights
what division do you think defines RJJ
