    You are delusional then son:patsch

    [url]Michael Nunn[/url]
    [url]Reggie Johnson[/url]
    [url]Mike McCallum[/url] x 2
    [url]Iran Barkley[/url]
    [url]Doug DeWitt[/url]

    Toney's wins over McCallum are better than anything Eubank ever done. Eubank would of been handled by both McCallum and Nunn.
     

  2. But we'll never know will we !!!

    We know Toney was the best in the div during Eubanks reign, because he went out of his way to prove it. Eubank did not.
     
  4. And remember Graciano was 30+ fight undeafeted and was beating Dariusz M before he got DQ'd.

    Your probably right Toney had the better resume in Depth.

    Agreed.
     

  6. He Never left the states. Eubank fought around the world.


    Just beacuse he was American beating Americans doesn't mean his career was so much better than Eubanks.

    Majority of the best fighters in the div were in the States.

    Toney was seen as the best in the div why would he leave his own backyard anyway.

    Eubank went to South Africa and got his ears Boxed off by [url]Dan Schommer[/url], but got a gift decision, a journeyman!

    Oh yes, definately. He's probably the only British fighter I'd give a chance against Toney from the last 20 years, and I include Slappy Joe in that. Herol Graham in his prime would have been a horrible match for Toney.

    I'm a massive Eubank fan but when did he ever 'fight around the world'??

    I know he fought in Europe and in the middle east but to my knowledge he never even tried to conquer America, he wasn't that dumb.
     
  10. And for clarity's sake, Calzaghe is behind all seven. Though, there is no shame in being at the back of that line of fighters.

    Toney would have probably been to skillful for Benn,Nige would have pushed him hard though.I think he would also have outpointed Collins(i know he is Irish)Eubank and Watson would i think have beaten Toney.And i guy who always gets over looked is Herol Graham,i know he fought mostly at middle but id have backed him against Toney for sure.As or Calzaghe id have my money on lights out every time.
