H2H: Peak James Toney v Peak Joe Calzaghe

Calzaghe is not on the level of a prime Roy Jones

Amen to that. This forum is remarkably sane today. I was expecting this poll to end up a landslide to the Calzaghe worshippers. Well done ESB! :good

 

Toney was whipped by scrubs, Dave Tiberi, Montell Griffin 2x, Drake Thadizi, and was dropped and given a beatdown and lost a lopsided decision to Roy "i left my chin in the locker room" Jones, Toney was over-rated, too lazy to even train.. he wouldn't even be able to hurt JC, and would be out worked an sent back to his home at Burger King..

 

I'm from Scotland.

My top 5 ever boxers are Duran (Panama), Arguello (Nicaragua), Pryor (USA), Jones Jr (USA) and Pacquiao (Philippines).

Some of us appreciate boxers, and are above basing decisions on nationalities or petty rivalry.

I think Toney was more gifted, and would win by late stoppage. It has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with nationality or anything else.

 

No, of course not. But anyone suggesting Calzaghe was on the same level as a peak Roy Jones Jr is a Calzaghe worshipper, as that is laughable.

 

Did you even bother to read the start of this thread??

Are ANY of those defeats within the time period that we are talking about??

 

You quite clearly implied it when you said Calzaghe could do what Jones did to that Toney. How could he achieve the same thing in the same way if he was not even on the same level? Don't wriggle out of it now mate, you said it, at least have the courage of your convictions.
