    Do you think there is any chance he could stop Toney?

    Do you give him a better shot at 160?

    I am not sure I have ever seen Toney hurt below HW. I would venture to say his beard is on par with Collins whom you said Benn couldn't hurt at all.

    I disagree. Toney has been down less in his career than Eubanks has while fighting stronger competition. I don't see how you can make this statement.

    Then you are guessing. Eubank has been down more than Toney has and against lesser opposition. This would indicate to me that his chin was not as strong as Toney's.

    Just because Toney was never hit by Benn doesn't mean he couldn't have taken the punches. He has been hit by HW who couldn't drop him. You can make the statement, but it is based on pure assumption that isn't even backed up by evidence from other encounters with hard punchers.

    toney has a titanium chin and has never been stopped or dropped hurt in his career save for off balance KD's, and thats fighting at MW, SMW, Lt. hvy, cruiser and hvy. so his chin is as solid as eubank. nigel benn is one of my favorite fighters ever, and i'm not much of a toney fan. but i think toney decisions or stops nigel late, just a bad styles matchup in favor of JT.

    Eubank was ready to go vs Watson in there second fight and if Eubank didn't land that lucky uppercut he probably would have gotten stopped.

    Eubanks been down about 3 times.

    No Eubank was down more than once. At least 3 times in his career.

    No matter the weight Toney was, he has never been hurt in a fight nor has he been stopped. His only KD were off balance and in both cases he was up immediately.

    You are guessing by saying you can make this statement based on something that never happened.

    Even so, you have no evidence that Toney couldn't have stood up to Benn's shots other than the fact that you simply "think" he couldn't. That's guesswork if I ever saw it.

    Calzaghe dropped him as well:deal

    I mean, you can say these things left and right....but I have not seen you make an actual argument for Toney's chin being weaker. Other than something that never happened.

    Yeah that's the same thing that happens to Herbie Hide his nervous system just gives out on his but his chin is like a rock. Hide and Eubank just have glass nervous systems.

    You seem to be making alot of excuses for these guys is all I'm saying. What fight makes you think Toney's chin was weaker than Eubank?
