    Was rewatching Jones/Ruiz and how Jones shut out Ruiz. Jones was about the same size as Charles and Machen at HW.

    Could the Charles who beat Louis and the Machen who took Liston the distance replicate what Jones did vs Ruiz or perhaps exceed it?

    Jones beat him, and Toney essentially beat him.

    I see no reason why Charles or Machen could not replicate the feat.
