The James Toney that Jones fought was faster, smarter & generally about 3 levels above DM. And Toney could barely get near RJJ, let alone land a solid punch. Who cares about power if you're not landing?
Toney was 3 levels above Michalczewski hmmm OK
Thats why Toney lost 2 descisions to Montell Griffin and Michalczewski knocked him out in 4 rounds.
Toney is a defensive fighter, that is the last style you want against Roy Jones Jr. and Michalczewski has a polar opposite agressors style than Toney, plus he moves better on his feet. Toney is horrible as an agressor and thats the style you need against Jones.
The "horrible as an aggressor" statement is a bit of an exaggeration...if he were "horrible" he wouldn't have beaten Nunn...

Toney is a horrilble agressor, he was lucky against nunn, and nunn must have had a weak chin to be taken out on 1 punch like that, but Toney was so lucky in that fight.
Toney is 1/10th the agressor Michalczewski is. So dont even go there.
Not to mention the fact Griffin was somewhat whooping Jones in their first fight so Jones had to revert to illegal tactics to get the bout stopped. None the less Michalczewski put Griffin in a coma in 4.
