    Eubank's win over Rocchi was more impressive than Toney's over PC Williams. I also think he boxed better against Thornton than Toney.

    But Toney's skills against Barkley were beyond sublime. Eubank avoided Barkley and Littles in '92.

    jesus christ you must not have any type of life. toney's middleweight reign that you ignore factors into him being at or near the top of the lb for lb lists. the ring, biased? :lol: the same mag that hates roy jones' guts. the same mag that has named non-americans fighter of the year in 7 of the last 11 yrs. even the boxing writers association of america has given their respect internationally. the past 11 yrs they have the same foty winners as the ring and hatton, lewis and buchanan are all british foty winners. if you're truly the best, you'll be recognized in the states. pacquiao is becoming huge here and is non-american.

    I havent really read all of this post, but get the drift and from what I have seen in showing you resumes you cant debate the facts that Toney wasnt fighting in the same league at SMW as Eubank or Benn.
    Even when you try and dress up Toneys MW reign, that was made up predominantly by a good come from behind win over Nunn, but remember the form line in that Eubank beat undefeated Rocchigiani who didnt have to come from behind to beat Nunn but outpointed him.
    As for your bit about Pac, Pac is fighting out of America with an American trainer, so of course America knows him, but you cant deny all the other Ring decisions like Bradley, Ward and Dawson as P4Pers and the sometimes strange ratings

    i think the super middle division is the only one you've heard of. arguably the weakest division in the history of boxing. so you don't think ward belongs in the top 10 pound for pound? shocker! he's black and american, that's two strikes against him from your view.

    If Jones didn't fight Collins then he should've fought Frankie Liles. Not fighting either of those two was a joke. Instead, he moves up to 175lb and spends 5 years ignoring the true champion while HBO and The Ring join him in lying to the viewers claiming Jones was the undisputed champion.

    Collins wasn't known in the States so I don't fault Roy for not fighting him. However Nigel Benn made a nice name for himself here so I do agree that he ducked Benn - BIG TIME! I've heard it was over money disputes on both sides - but I don't know. There's three sides to every story as the saying goes.

    Benn would lose horribly to RJJ. Eubank would have gone the distance in a boring awkward fight.

    hahaha, this cat is crazy

    Michalczewski was a bigger duck. It was obvious he avoided that fight.
