So? Because he likes doing his talking in the ring rather than being all flash like Toney, thats a bad thing? He's ****ing right.....You expect them to speak the **** that comes out of Toney's mouth? 'I'll fight both of you in one night' - My dear Toney, if that happened you would be leaving the building in a body bag.
They don't have to talk trash like Toney, but they don't have to start whining either. The guy is a professional fighter. He gets punched for a living. It just seems strange to me that he was so bothered by what Toney said. It generaly looked like his feelings were hurt.
That i'll kind of agree with, Eubank was always a whiner. Even though he was grade A poor growing up I get the impression he still always got everything he wanted when he wanted it, when someone rips into him he doesn't understand. So yeh, he is a bit sensitive. Benn on the other hand, you know in his head he was probably thinking about shoving a knife through Toneys skull. Mentalist.
james toney does get huge leeway on ESB. we are talking about a boxer twice caught taking steroids. as far as i am aware there is no out of competition testing for steroids in boxing as there is in most other sports, so its possible he used them in training for countless ammounts of fights. unlikely just to be the 2 times he was caught.
Toney just comes over as an ignorant and deperate fool! Benn would have knocked him out in three and Eubank would have beaten him up for thwelve rounds and won a landslide points victory.
The opinion is ridiculous by any standards. Benn was tailor made to get countered to hell and stopped by Toney. Eubank on the other hand may have been able to Decision him.
I totally disagree. Toney is one of the best in the business not to mention a damn good fighter to boot. Horses for courses I guess.
