    Who wins in my Super 6 Tourney of the 90's. I'm excluding jones as he was a class apart in my opinion.

    Joe Calzaghe
    Nigel Benn
    Chris Eubank
    James Toney
    Gerrald McLellan
    Iran Barkley

    Who beats who and who'd win in your opinion ?

    In my opinion....
    Calzaghe beats all bar Toney and Mclellan
    Toney beats all.
    Eubank Loses

    Toney. Easily.

    Be a different story if Jones were in the tournament.

    I'd still say he had enough to beat Benn, Eubank and Barkley.

    Just been reminiscing about how good Toney was in his prime recently that's all :good

    Cheeky, just at their respective best mate within the period given. Eubank was better earlier but don't forget he was a middle early on. Toney was an amazing middle and Benn wasn't bad either :good

    No Mas, no way (in my opinion) that Calzaghe beats a prime Toney :good

    Who did Toney actually beat?

    I'm struggling here guys......

    He's kinda got the Mayweather syndrome of not actually having to beat people because he'd beat them anyway...... all his losses in or around his best years are excused by being weight drained or not motivated.

    I mean, he lost clearly twice to the great Montell Griffin :roll:

    Include Jones by all means in the tourney - the job still has to be done :yep

    Thank goodness, a decent objective thread to have some good chat and views on...:happy

    It's a tough tourney to pick from...:yep

    I think that you could replace either Barkley or McClellan with Steve Collins, he would have given Calzaghe a tough nights work, but JC would have boxed him to a stoppage in the Championship Rounds...:yep

    I think that JC would have beaten Toney with the ease that he beat Jeff Lacy...:good


    Joe Calzaghe is the last man standing...:deal

    Nah I don't rate Collins as highly personally.

    I'd pick McLellan and Toney to beat JC. Toney could pretty much have things his own way with him, and I just don't think Calzaghe would have ever had the heart/ferocity that Benn showed during that infamous night with McLellan.

    He beats Benn and Barkley and would still have him to edge past a better version of Eubank than the one he faced.

    100% i'd take Toney here mate. I'd say Toney beats them all but Toney/McLellan would have been a wonderful fight to watch :good
