Granted I get what you're saying, compound everything he's done with winning a heavyweight title but it's just on paper that it'd looks good. Lets be real
I don't think he's on the same level as Bernard and Jones in terms of master boxing. Jones wasn't even a master boxer, he got away with unorthodox things because he was so talented and fast. Bernard was more of a master boxer because of his basics mastering of them imo.
Whether it be through the use of the basics, natural ability, whatever - when you compete and dominate on an elite level in the way Joe/Bernard/Roy have, you're a master boxer. IMO atleast
