James Toney was far more skilled and talented.
Particularly, defensive wise, whereas, JT later years relied on countering for offense, Jacobs is more aggressive like the younger Toney. That is where Canelo takes advantage.
And I don't think either is in decline. Just a great matchup, IMO for 2 guys who aren't past it....just yet!
