    Has anyone seen the the footage from the early 90's when Ben and Toney were on live link and Benn said he would come over and fight Toney for nothing? and then Toney started banging on about being 'The Man' so sow me the money? lol, just thought its funny because Benn was 'the man ' at the time

    How was Benn 'the man' exactly? Toney was more proven than either Benn or Eubank.

    Benn would smash Toney, worse than what RJJ did to him

    Difficult to say who has the better resume between Eubank and Toney. Eubank never fought Roy Jones, but Toney never fought Joe Calzaghe. The prime Calzaghe who beat Eubank would have beaten Toney as well.

    :lol::lol::lol::lol: The whole cliche of British people talking posh and **** comes from this interview right here. Eubank ruined us forever with that, "You...you..you seem purely ignorant" and Toneys like, "I'll beat you and your momma's ass"

    It isn't difficult at all. Eubank also didn't fight Nunn, or Dewitt, or Barkely or McCallum or Johnson either. I really like Eubank, I always have, he was my fave by far of the big three in the uk but his record is nowhere near as good as Toney's. And no, each plucked from time on their best night, Toney would have beaten Calzaghe.

    The Calzaghe that beat Eubank was nowhere near prime.

    Too bad they never got past the talking stage. Benn was tailor made for Toney. James would have had ol' Nigel walking into shots all night long . Remember how Nunn wound up? Benn would have been knocked out colder and quicker.
