First off, you know nothing about what I know about boxing.
Second, I am not a Jones hater. It is obvious too me that he is (or was) overrated by pretty much everyone. So he beat Toney, so what? He beat Hopkins, too. So you have two top-tier type fighters that he beat in his entire carreer. How does that make him the best? He dominated everyone else in the division because there was no one else in the division. He avoided a rematch with Hopkins and a fight with Tarver, which were the fights everyone wanted to see. Oh, and Hopkins was nowhere near his prime when Jones won a decision over him.
3rd, Jones has no chin. Now that he can't move around the ring like he used to, and now that he can't leave his left hand dangling by his side isnstead of protecting his face (due to his apparent loss of speed) he actually gets hit. Which he doesn't seem to handle all that well.
