Now that really is silly talk.

Toney has never looked like being knocked out before and can take flush shots off of heavyweights. Wlad has been down more against Peter than Toney and it's not as though Toney wasn't being clubbed on the back of the head too.

Roy Jones Jr can't take a clean shot in more fights than not these days and we are suggesting he would do better against Wlad than Toney? No chance. First time Wlad lands big and Jones is in trouble. Toney always has his smarts, Jones never really had them.

Jones has never really proven he can hang at HW IMO, Toney even with a belly has always hung in there and at the start looked really promising.
The only way to beat Wlad is not to be hit off him. Roy was always the master of not being hit. Believe me now if Wlad hits Toney he is gone. Now I know Roy doesn't have the elusiveness he once did but HW's are slower and he might just make it interesting until he was caught up to (which is inevitable by the way). I'm under no illusion that Roy would beat Wlad, he is way way past it, BUT Toney would be a punching bag for Wlad and that is a fact. Roy would at least try and be elusive.
