James Toney Versus Tommy Hearns

James representing............. DETROIT!!!

And I agree that Ray Robinson was the greatest.

 

Hearns aint Knocking Toney out. Toney too durable for Hearns, James outlasts him over 15

 

Hearns builds a lead with his jab and activity. Over 12 rounds Tommy hangs on to win a decision. Any longer Toney would get him.

 

Toney maybe even by KO, too big and too durable.

 

You would figure and hope people finally figure it out one day.

 

I have a really bad feeling Hearns would get countered and stopped.

 

I sense that at middleweight or above, Toney would stop him, probably late, and possibly even while behind on points.

 

At Middleweight Hearns would smoke James and get really high. James struggled with Dave Tiberi at Middleweight for cryin' out loud. It's not the opponents that James had the most trouble with doe. James was already weak stepping in for those early defenses. He was so weak because of the strenuous fighting that he had to do with the scales before any bell rang.

At Middleweight, Hearns knocks James TFO.

I saw the other night James getting knocked down (not the Roy fight). Was it Reggie Johnson who knocked him down?

At Middleweight James survived. I believe that at Cruiserweight he would have thrived.

But the money fights weren't in the Cruiserweight division.

 

He wouldn't need to. He would catch the jab and then counter the right hand.

 

Toney beats Hearns at 175.

 

Hearns wins 12 rounds

Toney wins 15 rounds

 

A decision win for Hearns isn’t out of the question. But Toney had a lot of attributes that might have made this a bad match for Tommy. I can understand why many are making the hitman the underdog
