    He put on almost 20lbs between the weigh in and the fight and his struggle to make weight has highly publicised.

    Yep, a true masterclass by Jones jr, if you want to see peak Roy Jones, this is the fight you must watch.

    Right up there with Chavez-Rosario, Whitaker-Ramirez II, Ali-Williams, Calzaghe-Lacy, Hopkins-Pavlik & Mayweather-Corrales.

    Dude you're in denial even Roy Jones himself said that he knew Toney had trouble making weight during his post fight interview with Merchant.

    NO. I mean in the ring. How did he look different from his previous fights. Was his legs slower? His hands? His Reactions?

    Roy was so so so quick in his prime. His feet were giving Toney the run around

    You might not like Calzaghe but that was a one-off performance by a great fighter.... dont give me the `Lacy was always ****` **** because I never heard anyone say that going into the bout whether it was actually true or not.

    If you're not specific then don't ***** because nobody understands you!

    "Toney was so good he lost to Montell Griffin in his next fight!"

    That sounds like you're saying Toney was, is and always has been ****. That isn't true hence the Duran vs. Laing comparison.

    Anyway tell your sister I'm asking for her and **** off!

    You would need to gain weight that fast and then attempt to fight for twelve rounds to understand it dude.

    Roy beats a prime conditioned Toney anyway but not as easily as he did that night!
