    Kalambay? Give me strength... Toney wouldnt have stopped him but would have won a probably pretty ugly fight, but won pretty easily none the less

    pfffft Kessler has no chance against Toney at 168... he is a good fighter but his 1-2 robotic style is all wrong against a slick TOney at 168

    Kalambay schooled a prime McCallum and had the exact type of style that would give Toney fits.

    **** off back to the lounge and don't ever reply to me again.

    Not a lot of fighters beat a prime and in shape Toney.... But the ultra talented who have an abundance of god given gifts like Jones had the style and attributes to best James. I don't think that was the best version that Roy beat but it was very one sided.

    Yeah, Sumbu at his best should be a favorite over Toney at middleweight. Stylistically, a masterful pure boxer with superior movement should have the edge over a more stationary in-fighting counter-puncher. Not always the case, but Kalambay had all the tools to get the job done and pick up the win.

    :patsch Who ever beat Calzaghe? Nobody. Toney looked lucky against Tiberi :oops::lol:. Calzaghe would slip Toneys leads and repeatedly land on Toney for a wide UD.

    Toney is very overated. Just look at all of the SDs, MD & D on the way to Jones Jnr. How many were there :oops:

    Jesus here comes Calzaghe's dealer again.

    Every Boxer ever to be compared to Calzaghe you ridicule and slander.
    how the **** would anyone take you seriously i don't know.

    Calzaghe knew his limitations and would have avoided Toney like the plague unless it was in the uk and Frank Wa ren was ref.

    How do you think Calzaghe knew his LIMITATIONS? He never found them as he always won.
    I dont recall Calzaghe avoiding anybody, but do recall Hopkins avoiding Calzaghe a while back.
    Oh if you think Jones, think again

    6:45 in. "For 2 years Calzaghe has chased pound for pound number one Roy Jones, but to no avail".

    also:

    *THIS VIDEO IS ON YOUTUBE: 'Roy Jones jr looks ahead to Calzaghe'*

    Steve Bunce: When did Joe first pop up in a conversation?

    Roy Jones: When he beat Chris Eubank I started watching him then.

    Steve Bunce: 1997

    Roy Jones: I knew it then...but he then kinda backed down on the opponents he was fighting so I RELEASED THE IDEA OF IT [fighting Joe].

    So Jones admits he was aware of Joe early on, but wasn't interested in fighting him.


    BBC, 21st November 2001.
    "It's all very well being the best in the world, but you need big names for big fights," he reflects.

    A fight with the Eric Lucas, the WBC champion, is a possibility, but unification fights are notoriously hard and expensive to arrange.

    As is a bout with Roy Jones.

    "To be honest I'm getting quite fed up with it," Calzaghe said.

    A bout against the undisputed light heavyweight champion has been the subject of ongoing speculation.

    "It's difficult because of the different networks involved. He's with HBO and I'm with Showtime - that's a massive obstacle in itself.

    "Secondly, you've got to ask yourself whether Roy Jones would want to fight me.
    "At the moment he picks his own opponents, fights the easiest guys he can and gets a lot of money for beating them.

    "I'm dangerous and I can take the mega money out of his pocket. Why would he want to fight me?


    Jones himself made the statement that he did not go fight him because it was too risky be it in the UK or states...he stated that on National TV while commentating on Calzaghe/Hopkins those words exactly get a copy of the fight and find out yourself....If Jones said it himself then any argument you have is out the window because Jones stated nothing about why should I have...I was ranked #1 he was ranked # whatever he said...IT WAS TOO RISKY FOR ME AT THAT TIME ESPECIALLY IF I HAD TO GO TO THE UK... he added nothing in on it....


    roy jones the man who fought Richard Frazier the part time cop and then bragged about his greatness afterward....


    Now Kid Presentable AKA Baileys Kid why dont you do as Hattons Hook said
    and answer the question, before I embarrass you again.

    Toney was a poor SMW. Calzaghe was a top SMW

    Him and Virgil Hill if he starved himself to make 168. Ward = Toney without the punching power and accuracy.
