Traslen Patterson The straight right did the damage for Jones, when Toney fought Johnson his straight rights were badly timed, I don`t think he had developed into the boxer that was so great against McCallum yet.

Facts we all know, he avoided a lot of people, but let's discuss your point. First you said that he fought 4 good fighters, which is about right. One of which beat his ass badly once and arguably won the first fight. You can act appalled by that claim but many so called experts called it that way. But then, after realizing your flawed argument by only being able to come up with 4 actual top tier fighters he beat, you then changed your claim to be they were ALL top fighters. Soooo, who doesn't know shit a out boxing again? I admitted he was talented, raw for sure. But he was the technically one of the WORST fighters ever, but his raw athleticism made up for it. When that went, he become a below average fighter...and one that fought, wait for it, a SHITLOAD of mediocre people while taking no chances.
