    Was there any need for this outburst John? I can't say I didn't find it funny, but I don't see what relevance it has.

    I'd hardly call it an "outburst" George :lol:

    There's always moans it's fantasy world in here and the like because older fighters are held so high etc.

    Unless you are taking the **** :D

    Yep, that's the Snarky Little Gobshite in us :D

    I suppose deadpan sarcasm is hard to read through text. I know you're not American, so that's not excuse for it.

    After rewatching his brutal stoppage of Beau Jack, I'm gonna add Ike Williams to this list.

    Yes I think older fighters suck that’s why I watch them literally everyday. Sorry I don’t overrate them

    James Toney doesn’t get mentioned enough when it comes to hand speed but he really had some fast hands at times.

    Ike Williams also had underrated speed.

    That’s what separates James Toney from Mike McCallum for me ...the difference in handspeed
