    Your views are not credible. You are well known to pick Toney to lose nearly every fight.

    Haven't you learnt your lesson about antagonizing me yet? After all your go rounds? You are the biggest Toney knob rider in the forums history and everyone familiar with you knows it. You try and call the Tiberi debacle a close fight that could have gone either way LOL!!!! You score EVERY SINGLE close fight for Toney and have had many pithy little outbursts at people picking against Toney over the years. You've have a rabid excuse and defense for every loss.

    Toney is nowhere near as good as you try to make him out to be. Christ, you picked him over Usyk at cruiserweight lol.

    Move on.

    Wtf?!?! Picking Toney to beat Calzaghe is credible, I suspect it would be a close, and likely contentious, decision fight, either way. Personally I'd make Joe a marginal favourite.

    Picking Toney to beat a prime Usyk at CW is most certainly not credible, however, it's plain nuts.

    There's a lot more to look at than that.

    Also, Joe could never have fought at MW.

    Toney has been talking about this fight on his Facebook page and he uses a lot of laughing emojis.

    This could not be further from the truth. I have actually picked several opponents to beat Toney in fantasy match ups. That is a fact!! The hatred for Toney you carry in your heart is so deep, that I have to step in every once in a while.

    On the other hand, you are by far the biggest Hopkins fan on this forum . You pick Hopkins to win every match up, it is so ridiculous. And you have the nerve calling me out LOOOOL. Hopkins is nowhere near as good as you try to make him out to be. You score every close fight for Hopkins, including both Taylor fights.

    While in other threads your comments may make sense, again, your views on Toney and Hopkins threads are just not credible. Do not blame others. You have only yourself to blame for that.

    Do you have comprehension problems? Feel free to show me where i claimed you never pick against Toney?

    It's a fact that you picked Toney over Usyk at cruiserweight.

    Hatred for Toney???? Hatred for boxers in here is the realm of mental midgets, well, unless they are dispicable human beings i guess but most separate that.

    I tell you what. I want you to show me posts where i have shown hatred for Toney. Hatred isn't picking someone to beat him....put your money where your big mouth is and cough up some proof. Hatred stands out like the proverbial.

    I am a huge fan of Hopkins. I've openly picked him over Hagler and Monzon and give him some sort of chance vs SRR. I've seen far far better posters than myself pick similar. I think he's a top 2 or 3 or 4 middleweight ever H2H. I stand by my assessment. Could i be wrong? Absolutely. Who would be stupid enough to grand stand over fantasy fights of this calibre?

    And here we enter the undoing of you yet again. I want you to show me where i pick Hopkins over RJJ. Put your money where your big mouth is, again. You've talked the talk, lets see you walk the walk.

    Well you came out insulting so you were always going to get it back. It never ends well for you, but your love for Toney always draws you back in.

    But lets see you prove your points above. You haven't proven any of my comments wrong. Now you need to prove your own accusations.

    1. Show me where i post hatred of Toney.
    2. Show me where i pick Toney over RJJ.

    It should be easy, you are very cocksure of yourself.

    If I've learnt one thing in here it's that you DKSAB, and even less about scoring. Your opinion of Hopkins doesn't remotely interest me. If you rated him highly I'd actual start to question my own judgement.

    I remember scoring the first fight for Hopkins. As a matter of fact it's in the thread below. You? You leeched off another post going against Hopkins, yours was post #6. In post #7 i told you i couldn't wait to see your round by round, and said I'd do one. Of course you took the coward option and didn't post a scorecard....surprise!!!!

    https://www.boxingforum24.com/threa...-bernard-hopkins-vs-jermaine-taylor-1.736484/

    I don't recall scoring the second Taylor fight so i am going to have to add that to the list you need to show supporting evidence of. I could have, but just don't remember so go ahead - refresh me James.

    And we have another task too. Show me where i scored the Calze fight for Hopkins. You said, and i quote, "You score every close fight for Hopkins". Put up!

    So now we are at -

    1. Show me where i post hatred of Toney.
    2. Show me where i pick Toney over RJJ.
    3. Show me where i scored Hopkins in Taylor II
    4. Show me where i scored Hopkins over Calze.


    You are making an utter fool of yourself. People know i don't run around hating on Toney, and people know you do everything i stated in my first retort.

    You are a constant pain in Toney fantasy fights. You get all pithy when people pick against your hero. I've seen it. You try and discredit said posters but have no credibility of your own to stand on.

    Now......

    1. Show me where i post hatred of Toney.
    2. Show me where i pick Toney over RJJ.
    3. Show me where i scored Hopkins in Taylor II.
    4. Show me where i scored Hopkins over Calze.

    You made all these claims in a single post. It's time to back your big mouth/fat fingers up.
