Dan Rafael voted Tim Bradley instead of James Toney for the Hall of Fame

1. What a ****ing moron
2. Why does he still have a forum?
3. Tim Bradley quite frankly didn't even have a HOF career IMO
4. What a ****ing moron

On twitter his "excuse" is he refused to first ballot him because he's a drug cheat

 

DM should have gotten in a while ago. He deserves it way more than the likes of Bradley.

 

I didn't see that part. And I can understand that. It's like in baseball w/ MdGwire, Sosa, and Bonds... I'm ecstatic they are yet to make it due to their cheating. But I know it's a tad different w/ boxing. However, I wonder when all is said and done, would he vote for canelo's first time on the ballot? My gut says yes.

 

Good

 

Uh, what? Cleaned out 140 with the exception of Khan. And then he boxed a rampaging, juiced-to-the-moon Roidquez's ears off who was coming off of the KO of the Century.

 

Too much of a STAN to be considered a real reporter.

 

Anyone who knows anything about the sport knows Tim Bradley isn't worthy of carrying Toneys spit bucket

 

Imho klitschko, mayweather, cotto and toney are mandatory.

Then I would pick fernando el feroz vargas, completely biased and because I was MEGAFAN of him.

But actually I would pick probably genaro hernández, if I wanted to be fair. You can swap toney/genaro's names if you want to. toney/genaro/cotto, actually.

 

Although he was never truly the man at ww, his ww resume is more impressive than the current Crop's.

 

One thing I don't think anyone can deny is TB fought, or at least sought out, the best. Sucked he missed Khan, but w/o going back to look at circumstances of that timeline, not sure one can blame him.

 

I get the impression Dan just trolls for his own entertainment these days, but this is the type of trolling that should get him removed from any platform that values their reputation.

 

Okay, like most of you, I don't agree, and I don't like Dan. On top of that, I'm about as big an admirer of Toney as you have on here. But this isn't really that crazy, frankly, to me. And in years to come it will seem less and less crazy. People seem oblivious at this point of Toney's low points because he's so superb on a highlight basis, to the eye. Bradley's career was phenomenal but it's still close enough that people pay more attention to one bad night of judging than all his superb showings of boxing and grit. This is not a guy who randomly shows up to mug while forty pounds overweight or a man popping dirty during what would've and should've been career highlights. No, I wouldn't make the same decision, but no it's not like Bradley is lucky to be mentioned in the conversation with Toney either, and some of that is Toney's fault more than Bradley's credit, but some of it is vice versa. There's a Thadzi Toney and there's a Marquez Bradley, etc.

 

James Toney just like Glass Jaw Roy Jones is a convicted PED cheat.

 

Middleweight to heavyweight. Rare breeds.

 

That has got to be just because they were buddies at ESPN. Toney did so much more in the sport than Bradley.
