McClellan vs. Jones circa 1994?

If those were his flaws, that's a lot. I discount Benn fight, too many rabbit punches and time getting back in the ring, I would've DQ's Benn, but it is what it is.
Great observation on your point.

For me where this can become null and void is the power of next day weigh ins. By definition Gerald was a serious weight bully. MW he usually weighed close to LHW fight night, that means heavy hands eliminates a lot of his flaws. 29 kos out of 31 wins and again, we're talking a guy who fought Roy and knew some of what he could bring.
Not saying he could win, but I am saying --usually technical or counter punching boxers lose to a contrast of styles, not a dupilcate or similar style which usually equates to more of a chess match IMO.
It be hard for me to envision anyone beating Roy Jones at countering or potshotting.
But it wouldn't be hard to enivision Gerald landing that punch Duvalle landed to drop Roy. Difference is, GMan aint no Honeyboy!

 

If we're going off that, I would've stopped it in the first.
