Of course Mclellan is going to destroy Jones in Steward's opinion. He continually describes his own fighters in superlatives- he is also on record as saying Naseem, Michael Moorer and even Graziano Roccegiani were 'the most talented fighter I've ever trained'
I'm not disrespecting his skills or character (he's a gentleman and modest in comparison to the Floyd Mayweather sr.)but he's not exactly an impartial judge.
