    “Big” James Toney in a division entirely comprised of ESB deities.

    Realistically, Toney wouldn't even be able to close the distance on Tire Iron Jones, who was a true superheavyweight at 6'4". Toney frankly hadn't faced a guy who could triple or quadruple up on the hook at heavyweight like Tire Iron could; Jones came from an old school era with all kinds of lost arts like feints, body punching, and punching in general.

    I actually think James would slap that sloppy closet bodybuilder all around the ring like the undestructible being he is. “I GOT MILK” If I had to actually guess Teacup gets KO’d at around round 7.

    Toney was a throwback...to Tire Iron Jones. Except Jones was taller, stronger, more 1960s, and built his bodybuilder physique with thousands of pushups.

    George "Tire Iron" Jones is the fighter of choice of the old school boxing connoisseur. Over a hundred fights, most stoppages. His only losses weren't his fault.

    Knocked Ali down in the amateurs with his trademark thunderous "Tire Iron" of a left hook -- the same weapon that felled Liston in a brutal sparring session. 6'4" and 225 pounds of prison-honed fury and old school craftsmanship. The only reason he isn't better known is the BBBofC sanctioning shenanigans that removed his demolition of Brian London from the official records.

    Jones wasn't a meme. He was an experience.

    Big James Toney was a great man, but a jealous one.
