Toney was better fighting off the front foot - Eubank never looked very convincing coming forward. Toney-R.Johnson was a razor-thin fight - Toney barely escaped with the decision. That's not a good fight to illustrate wide UD decision win for Toney.

I guess you haven't seen the Watson fight. But then again, look what happened after Watson hurt Eubank...I saw that live on tv and still remember it.
I watched both fights remember them very well. Watson had him down ill give you that but was he close to being ko'd? Not so sure .
I agree, but Toney at smw preferred to play the role of the counterpuncher. He had a better balance between offense and defense at mw. R.Johnson used lateral movement and he was a counterpuncher, like Eubank. If he can hold his own against a guy like Johnson then he can more than handle a fighter like Eubank, who was a couple of steps below R.Johnson.
General Zod keep this thread going excellent thread brotha :good The more I watch stuff on Eubank the more I grow to appreciate him ..Though a figt with Toney would have been diificult for Chris I have no doubt in my mind he would have fought his ass off in there against him ..
He got the job done when it mattered against Littles though. Johnson was a very good fighter - not the most exciting but quite underrated these days.
