Id pick Jones to get flashy but get his china rocked late.

G-Man late KO as Gerald actually fought prime elite fighters and did well with them Roy just didnt fight good fighters so one never knows.

Give me 8wks camp and ill look like Muhammad Ali against some of the guys Jones fought.
Like whom?

The half-blind, naturally smaller Julian Jackson?

Or a John Mugabi who peaked at 154 and in the mid 80s?

The versions of Jackson (x2) and Benn he fought were light years ahead of Roys comp even now. A weight drained Toney aside.
Toney being weight-drained is probably exaggerated. The guy is just lazy in the gym and at the dinner table. All the talk prior to the fight was how Toney had improved being at 168. He was winning his title-fights in much more convincing fashion than at 160, where he had a few close fights where he could've lost. Then after the Jones fight, out comes the weight-draining excuse.

Toney then was much better than the natural 154 lb., detached-retina having Julian Jackson.
