    Toney was definitely at his best weight. He was never rated higher at any other weight.

      The only difference is toney wasn't at his best weight, corrales was.

        At 168, when he met Roy, Toney was 44-0, and at worst #3 pound for pound. Easily his best weight.

          You can only use bias if I don't have a valid argument.


          Toney was undefeated, P4P#3, and Roy moved UP in weight to beat him.

          Toney also had a knockout just 4 months prior to them fighting.

          Toneys skills cannot even be mentioned along with Diego.

            We're talking about prime 28 year old 168lb Roy Jones.

            Not 35 year old, drained down from heavyweight, 175lb Roy.
            Reed, i didn't say he has a subpar chim. I said i'm taking floyds thats all. Floyd has a flash ko vs zab. Uhh zab judah is better than lou correct?

                Prime for prime, Jones suffered one flash KD and other than that was never so much as stunned. Floyd suffered one KD that wasn't really a knockdown but was hurt by Corley. Tough call.

                  It doesn't matter, Floyd wouldn't have that kind of power to bother Roy, even in an even p4p matchup.

                    Yeah if floyd is at 135 and roy is at 168. But assuming all is equal I think floyd has enough power to bother roy.

                      I doubt that. Seriously. He'd have a hard enough time hitting him anyway.
