Jones vs. Toney = Pacquiao vs. Mayweather?

Well make your bleeding mind up. You just started a thread telling us how great his footwork was.

Oh. I get it, you're just another Pacturd.

 

pacquaio is no jones:rofl:rofl:rofl if youre going to compare a fight tarver vs jones is a possible comparison but guess what.....jones at that time is no floyd...:hi:

 

Mayweather and Marquez are both intelligent counterpunchers. Marquez used an economical punch output and hit Pacquiao over and over again with the right hand. He also seemed to be able to time Pacquiao's left hand. Mayweather is a superior defensive fighter to Marquez, and has a better straight right hand. I'm not sure how those aspects are insignificant but the fact that both Toney and Mayweather utilize a shoulder role is hugely significant(keep in mind that Mayweather doesn't even shoulder role much against lefties)

 

Your comparison is shallow. The only similarities you have between Mayweather and Toney is the shoulder roll defense, a defensive tactic that Mayweather doesn't even use that frequently against lefties. The speed gap you're trying to propose exists between Mayweather and Pacquiao is exaggerated as well.

 

this fight is nothing like jones jr vs toney. For starters jones also had a great defemse and he wasn't giving up a massive reach advantage. he could snipe at toney from the outside wheras pacquiao will have to figure out a way to get inside. He was also a 25 year old in his prime wheras manny is way past his best. this fight won't be close. I just hope that all the people that think that manny has a chance give Floyd his due respect when he dominates him and don't try to come up with excuses.

 

this^^^^

 

Damn, I forgot how good (and fast) Roy was in his prime. I still remember watching his KO of Glen Kelly live and not believing how he knocked him out.

As for the comparison, I don't really see it. Jones was throwing shots and than stepping to the side. As one of the commentators said, he never stood directly in front of Toney. I don't think that is Pacquaio. He comes in at odd angles (meaning it is hard to counter him as he gets close) but he doesn't attack and get out.

Jones really put on a masterful performance against Toney. However, once he lost his speed, he went from a great fighter to merely just good. It is kind of how I see both Pacquaio and Mayweather today (although not as shot as RJJ). They both are still very good but not presently great.

 

You just get mad bcuz i know more about the sport then you ever will...:deal...Get familiar with boxing dude, theres youtube and all that stuff. you can learn you just have to be willing to put in "The Hard Work And Dedication", OH shiet, why does that sound so familiar?:think

 

There are a lot more differences, in Jones vs Tony fight then the pending Floyd vs pac.

Biggest difference is that Jones and Tone where young men in their 20s.
Second Tony had a bad habit of abusing his body,when not in the gym and gaining lots of weight eating Burger King food.

Those two statement should put some major distance between the fighter. Jones, Floyd and Pac stay in shape, Toney did not. Jones and Tony where young men in their 20s when the fought, pac and Floyd are about to fight in their late 30s..
