    James Toney had the talents to be the greatest ever but he squandered them for Burger King. Still, one of the most skilled fighters to lace them. He was born to box.

    Prime James Toney was aesthetically very pleasing with an excellent technical skills yet even though he was soo gifted he would regularly get dragged into life and death struggles with the likes of Sanderline Williams, Merqui Sosa and Dave Tiberi. His come from behind win over Michael Nunn was the highlight of his career.

    Being the smaller man is the only thing that makes that win impressive since Jirov was a made to order eurobum.

    Sheer skill and natural talent in spades............ one of the best skilled fighters ever.


    You may like his PR style or hate it, but underneath the mouthing, you can't deny his status as an all time great fighter.

    If I ever crack time travel (and i'm working on it) i'm gonna go back in time armed with millions of dollars and make Toney fights with Eubank and Benn. What a spectacle they would have been on build up alone. :!:

    jesus christ. you have 2 guys in your avatar that could be absolutely torn apart by any keyboard warrior in terms of resume, but you still choose to insult Toney. He went 24 rounds with a guy Wlad had to hug 42 thousand times to beat. While Toney was short, fat, and still goes toe to toe with the same guy.
