    Griffin had success in his first fight by jabbing Jones into the ropes, Jones moved straight back instead of laterally so was caught on the ropes often and didn`t know how to escape that`s the worst place to be caught by GGG, Canelo could handle being under fire on the ropes because his defense was better than Jones and the punches he was hit with he moved his head with and rode them, Jones never did this and didn`t have the chin to take GGG`s blows. If Jones came towards GGG the way he did in the Griffin rematch the GGG would walk through his shots and KO him early. Futch got the idea of backing Jones against the ropes by watching a 39 year old McCallum have a lot of success with the jab backing Jones up that is GGG`s main tactic!

    GGG would throw more shots the the above guys, he wears people down and Toney could not handle that sought of pace, he did against McCallum but got hit too much in those fights to fight that aggressive against a clever high work rate puncher like GGG.

    LMFAO!!!! GGG isn't walking through RJJ's shots you're a troll or a fool if you think that. RJJ hits guys with punches they don't see if anything he would would have a great chance to score a knockdown on GGG because of it.

    Not even close. But, he did have enough power to get many HW's attention and not just run in there on him.

    Can't handle that pace? That just is not true at all. Lights Out is one of few fighters to land over 400 punches on to his opponent. And he did it three times.

    You can't use pro-Toney stats. You have to use stats from Toney fights where he didn't do well, then compare that to GGGs best (as in no fight where GGG had a step-up in competition) fights.

    Toney has fought several fighters better than GGG, where as GGG hasn't fought anyone of Toney's level.

    The best part of this entire thread is the GGG fanboys trying to say that Jacobs is as good a win as Nunn lol!

    Even after he weighed 200+, he was still a helluva fighter. I still love watching him in Sam Peter I and against old Holyfield(even though there's an asterisk next to some of his good performances @ HW).
