And this helps you how exactly? Thompson was nothing special The info is even up on boxrec: http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=804&cat=boxer
Thompson was a CW world Champion, who also handed David Haye his first professional loss. The fact that Eubank was able to take him the distance, and be leading on the scorecards in the second fight, shows he could still operate at that level. That's how it helps. Eubank-Thompson was a long time ago. Do you remember the details of every fight you've ever seen? Evidently I wasn't using boxrec, I was going off memory, but I was right, Eubank was indeed leading on the cards
I will give me a few minutes I why would I want you banned? If you want to create alt accounts so you bump up your own threads and agree with yourself then good for you
Thompson was never a world champion. His belt meant as much as having a wbu/wbf belt means today. The wbo only got recognised as a legit belt around 2005. Thompson was nothing special and he would of been in his forties when he stopped Haye, which tells you how good Haye really is. Most of the important ones.
Continually chopping and changing to suit your agenda. David Haye went on to unify the CW division, and win a belt at HW, before challenging W.Klitschko to a huge unification showdown. That's how good he is So you consider Eubank-Thompson 2 a particularly important fight?
Toney was supremely confident after making weight The Dark Trade page 158-159 It was only after his one sided loss that he started talking about being sick, weight drained and being forced into fighting The Dark Trade page 167 His manager confirms that he was confident going into the fight. (Confirmed in that youtube link) The Dark Trade page 168 Toney lost to Jones because Jones had used a modified version of the strategy that McCallum II used against him. Its also the reason he struggled with Griffin who was also clearly using the same strategy. You dont chase your opponent around the ring if you are weight drained. Toney admits himself that after the Barkley fight he was never in shape, while he was winning he never complained http://www.secondsout.com/columns/thomas-hauser/james-toney-reaches-for-glory1 Its the reason that He ended up firing his long term trainer Bill Miller who had enough of his lazy training habits. The Dark Trade page 272
How can you unify when you dont have the IBF belt? The WBO was never a recognised belt and that is really the end of it. David Haye is not very good. Losing to a washed up 40 year old. That's almost as bad as Reid losing to a 42 year old Malinga. Yes, because I was a big fan of his back then.
I hope you didn't waste time typing any of that out of a book. You've got nothing, you made out like you had something to disprove it, and you provided nothing. In fact, you even provided a quote from Toney saying he wasn't in shape. atsch
You don't need all the beats to be unified champion, you only need two Nice straw man argument I'm sure you don't remember the details of every fight you've watched :nut In fact, that's the exact kind of thing the mods are supposed to do atsch Zod you avoided the original question, do you seriously disagree that fighters can be different in different weight divisions?
Toney says something so it must be true? Can't you see how biased you are? Forced to fight? Flu? Anonymous articles as proof? He was confident going into the fight Funny how he said all of that after the loss. Like Kessler said he had a bad hand after his loss to Calzaghe. The fact is that Toney cut large amounts of weight for all of his fights, the Jones fight was no different from all of those other fights which he had before. The idea of knocking Jones because his opponent didn't prepare as well as he could of is biased as hell. You can only beat the person who is in front of you. Jones's performence was one of the best display of boxing ability in a smw fight. The fact that the fight also involved two prime future hofers only makes the win better.
