    Lennox was born in West Ham London.
    Saw a load of Honeyghan's fights I doubt he beats Lewis or Stracey.
    Neither do I pick Hamed over Driscoll or Moran.

    Has it helped your life now that you've said it 4 times like an automaton mate? OMG is a **** acronym too, I'd expect better from a man of your calibre.

    Joe was an awesome fighter. Fitter than a butchers dog, lightning fast and tough to boot. He dealt with everyone and was unbeaten for a reason. Styles make fights and no one can totally dominate everyone. Joe could adjust when he needed to and was a clever fighter. He was a match for any fighter of any era.

    I agree to a reasonable degree, but that's not the point being discussed (though I'm not sure what is where Mark is concerned, he's one of a kind). I rate Calzaghe, I'm just objective about him. And Mark said that Matthew Saad Muhammad would only have a punchers chance against him, which is as stupid a statement as I've seen on here from a non-troll and was the original point of discussion.

    He beat better fighters than Strachey and Lewis and lost to better fighters than them as well.

    Correct, Toney struggled with speedsters.

    Jones landed more than enough to basically shut Toney out. If Jones didn't actually land much how little did Toney land??????

    When you get two high level guys with excellent defense together there's not going to be an avalanche of clean blows.

    Lewis was born in London and raised here in London till he was 12, if AJ beats Fury it still depends on if he`s undisputed, Usyk completely exposed AJ, it wasn`t even close. Frampton was better than Hamed.

    The last few rounds of Toney v Jones were close, in the last round Jones rallied but didn`t land much, it was a boring fight.

    Honeyghan didn`t only lose to better fighters he got completely out-classed specifically by Starling.

    Starling is better than Stracey and Lewis so are Curry , Blocker and Breland.

    It was boring because Jones was simply that much better and Toney couldn't do much of anything. Completely outclassed.
