Benn: Roy Jones will be my last fight, gonna have War with him

I hated RJJ and respect Benn. However, Benn would have had his ass spanked if they had fought back then

 

I agree, it would have been very, very interesting!

 

Instead he went on and got beat up like his great rival Eubank,by Collins...twice.

 

Toney was coming off a 44 fight winning streak. Im pretty sure he fought Jones at his best!

 

Exactly.

 

What Cab company did Hopkins work for?

And where did Toney sweep streets?

 

Jones/Benn would have been a disappointment. Benn never was the same after the McClellan fight, and he'd have been a heavy underdog to beat Jones even at his peak. There's too much distance between the two athletically.

 

Even if Toney was at his best, it wasnt as great as people would have you believe with -
- Toneys lucky SD win over Tiberi
- The fact Toney couldnt beat S Williams
- M Sosa SD atsch
- A come from behind win against Nunn who was ahead against Toney :thumbsup
- R Johnson SD
- Unable to beat old McCallum at first ask and could only get a MD in a rematch

In fact look at Toneys career when he was fighting at SMW

1993 he wins the title from iran barkley a fighter who years earlier was blown away by nigel benn in 1 round and pummelled to a loss by a shot roberto duran barkley went onto lose 11 out of 25 fights following this fight and never beat anyone who was remotely good in doing so,the guy was so desperate he was even plying his trade as a HW in the late 90's against the likes of berbick and they say this era is a joke

govonor chambers a guy with a career record of 9 wins 7 losses, all 3 fights prior to toney were ko losses!

ricky thomas: won 11 lost 14,the 4 fights he had prior to toney all losses!

glenn thomas:won 29 lost 8, lost to roy jones prior to toney and finished his career with a first round ko loss to jeff lacy.

danny garcia: won 30 lost 22, was coming off losses to chris pyatt (a steve collins victim) lamar parks etc

larry prather: won 19 lost 24,lost his last 5 fights prior to the toney fight even losing to nicky piper

tony thornton: won 37 lost 7,lost to chris eubank a year earlier.

anthony hembrick: won 31 lost 8,lost to maske prior to toney and orlin norris a year earlier.

tim littles: won 27 lost 3,maybe one of his better wins,had fought mainly bums with the exception of a close UD over frankie liles,went onto lose to frankie liles in a 2nd contest following the toney fight.

vinsom durham: won 21 lost 37 enough said.

charles williams: won 37 lost 7 drew 3,lost to maske prior to toney.

and finally the Jones fight and, That was Jones big SMW victory where Toney was alledgedly weight weakend, other than that Jones didnt do much at SMW.

Also Toney lost his fight after Jones to novice M Griffin

 

It was actually around 45 pounds in 6 weeks...still a high amount but it wasn't uncommon for Toney to do this around that time.
