    Toney....Toney even WAY WAY WAY past his prime never got KO'D by journeymen....I know its the minority opinion....Jones gets a lot of credit for the head-to-head....but overall, and especially resume wise...Toney.....people fall way to in love with the "roy jones talent machine"....sorry guys...

    It never affects what they have done, but Toney lost in his prime and Jones handpicked always. The Green fight does not mean much except that maybe Jones should retire. I don't think anything Jones does now affects his legacy win or lose unless he beats a top guy and then it will be obvious he was not a shot fighter, so the Green and Tarver and Johnson wins will be seen as evidence that Jones had a weakness. You cannot have it both ways. If he beats a good fighter next time, then you have to take these fights he lost as legit.

    Jones was better than Toney. Easy to see that.
