Is this the worst run of opponents ever for a reigning world champion?

He'll (Jones) knock you into tomorrow, James...

 

Take out the stay busy fights and you have Thornton, Littles and Williams over an 18 month period. One solid contender, an undefeated contender, and a long-reigning titlist at the division above. Not shabby at all.

Team Toney realised that the best way to keep Toney in shape (and out of prison) was to have him fighting every couple of months. It almost worked.

 

Take away Kessler and you get nothing but bottom feeder's.

 

You've only been here a month but you're rapidly earning the distinction as one of the worst posters in recent memory. Please refer to the above post concerning "stay busy" fights. It is indeed an old school practice, and Toney was indeed an old school fighter in his approach to the game and stylistically. Now **** off.

 

Too laborious, im sick ****ed from the sauce.

 

You seem to have no historical understanding of the sport. You and your thread are pure ****. :hi:

 

Long night?

 

Big time.

 

There was a thread similar to this by a poster who I havent seen for a while called Silencer. I have used bits of it myself. Here it is with a bit of modification

look at the level Toney was fighting at, when SMW champ

1993 he wins the title from iran barkley a fighter who years earlier was blown away by nigel benn in 1 round and pummelled to a loss by a shot roberto duran barkley went onto lose 11 out of 25 fights following this fight and never beat anyone who was remotely good in doing so,the guy was so desperate he was even plying his trade as a HW in the late 90's against the likes of berbick and they say this era is a joke

govonor chambers a guy with a career record of 9 wins 7 losses, all 3 fights prior to toney were ko losses!

ricky thomas: won 11 lost 14,the 4 fights he had prior to toney all losses!

glenn thomas:won 29 lost 8, lost to roy jones prior to toney and finished his career with a first round ko loss to jeff lacy.

danny garcia: won 30 lost 22, was coming off losses to chris pyatt (a steve collins victim) lamar parks etc

larry prather: won 19 lost 24,lost his last 5 fights prior to the toney fight even losing to nicky piper

tony thornton: won 37 lost 7,lost to chris eubank a year earlier.

anthony hembrick: won 31 lost 8,lost to maske prior to toney and orlin norris a year earlier.

tim littles: won 27 lost 3,maybe one of his better wins,had fought mainly bums with the exception of a close UD over frankie liles,went onto lose to frankie liles in a 2nd contest following the toney fight.

vinsom durham: won 21 lost 37 enough said.

charles williams: won 37 lost 7 drew 3,lost to maske prior to toney.
