    Toney could never, even at his absolute best, outbox Roy Jones. He might have a slight chance to KO him, but he'd never win more than 4 rounds, no matter what shape he was in.

    Jones beats him easy every day of the week.

    It would have been closer but I think Roy's speed would still be a problem for Toney. I'm guessing something like 116-112 Jones.

    I am in agreement with most of what Sweet Pea says.

    Jones style is all wrong for Toney.

    Are u trying to tell me that in a matchup between a Super Middleweight unbeaten Champion vs unbeaten Middleweight Champion live on HBO PPV between 2 top 10 fighters in the p4p rankings in a fight that was compared to Hearns-Leonard that James Toney didnt take training seriously ? If he didnt train hard how the **** did he lose like 35 pounds in camp ?

    Struggling to make weight and not taking a fight seriously are two very different things.

    Jones was, and always would be, too damn quick for Toney, who was actually a better technical boxer.
    Toney's punchrate dropped alarmingly when he was countered off the charts.
