Leonard benefited and thrived in a legendary era, cliché but he clashed with like minded greats and that tips it for me. Mayweather became more of a chorographer in career and actual bouts sometimes felt secondary especially after Hatton and wtf retirement. Look only couple weeks ago. Tremendous boxer but a piss attitude and hardly pushed beyond 'just getting the w' at least to me. Somewhere along the line we started hearing..mainly in mma friendly lead up and post Mcgregor..oh he's the best boxer ever and pointing to being 50-0. Roy was a reflex phenome and superb athlete but as has been mentioned he really did have a silver platter and a very very cushy network contract at the time. They basically rotated some very thin 'mandatories' sprinkled in with an early version of Hopkins, a Toney who looked and acted like he was psyched out before the bell even rang and a Virgil Hill. Those were top notch wins and he embarrassed Toney and Toney deserved it but where Jones holds those as 'best' wins they don't tend to be blemishes for a Toney or a Hopkins. Not really. The did very well improved afterwards, specifically Hopkins. He beat good fighter for sure, Griffin, Harding, Tate, and Johnson. Jones had company at 168 and frankly he had zero interest in cleaning house. For one he didn't have to and hindsight being 20-20 so many now say 'well he would have cruised Benn or Eubank or Michalczewski. I'm not so easily convinced and we'll never know. There was noooo chance HBO was going to do business with Showtime for fans to see either. To some degree I may hold him still fighting against him. It's farcical and damn dangerous. Then again a shot ghost of Leonard was being ko'd by Camacho so there's that .
