In terms of dominating, you can take Hopkins, and Tarver 1 off your list. He didnt dominate those guys. Toney was a drained and McCallum was past it.
I'm not saying Jones wasnt a great fighter, but I'll stick to the statement he knocked over a string of cab drivers. Great fighter doesnt neccessarily translate to great boxer. Great boxers can stretch their careers when their skills fade. Like Hopkins and Toney. Once Roy's athletic ability slipped, he was toast. Couldnt fall back on being a Phd of the sweet science.

Winky isnt the fighter he was, but can still hang with the top guys at 35, cuz he knows how to box. Jones cant cope with diminishing skills like great boxers can. I rate Winky even with Jones.

I'll agree to disagree with ya.
