    Tell you what.

    You just keep making all the excuses you like to convince yourself you are right. Meanwhile I'll just listen to Foreman's version of events when he grew up and got over himself. You know the one where he says " Ali kept on talking to me all the time. Saying, they told me you could punch George, but you just a sissy. Come on George, that all you got ?"

    " And by the 6th round I KNEW I was in trouble, because that WAS all I had. "

    I think Roy Jones Jr. beats James Toney every day of the week.

    Its common knowledge. Hall would spill the beans at some point in 2003. Braggingrights.com would go on to interview the head of Indiana athletic state and the IBF

    My intention was not that he fled 168. He ran away from Toney.
    Those names you mentioned aside from Hopkins were meaningless wins. Hopkins was a doubtful win. Hopkins did more on the inside than Jones on the outside.
    1st fight against Griffin was not so convincing.
    2nd fight was a scam.
    Ruiz was more of a moral win against a soft former CW.

    You should have known taking George seriously is not wise.

    Jones was brought in via satellite during the Toney-Griffin rematch, because he was fighting the winner. Not sure how Jones is avoiding Toney in that situation.

    Seemed like perfect situation for Toney, revenge against Griffin and then a rematch against Jones. He lost and moved up in weight, at the same time Jones was really getting started at 175lbs.

    Also Jones was 5x and Hall was 10x over the limit for Andro. Avaliable over the counter at your local GNC. If it helped Jones it didn't help Hall in the fight.
