Who you like better, Roy Jones or James Toney?

Jones I like better..Toney has always been an *******.

 

Thats we hasn't had other gigs then

 

Roy wins no doubt though some would hate Roy for his love of **** fighting

 

If you go over to Youtube and see loads of the 'P@ki' and allot of the unjustified hate you can tell their are racial undertones. Although it's partly people going against the golden boy, I know plenty of Pakstani lads who wanted to see him fall flat on his face too

20yo lad drives like a dickhead shocker

He does have a case for beating Peterson tbf to him.

Pretty much sums him up

 

great post

 

I agree, but I'm sure glad for Peterson.

 

I prefer watching Toney. I guess I'm a sucker for old-school techniques. I always love watching him in action in fights like McCallum 1, Barkley, Delgado, Holyfield, Jirov, etc...

 

Let's address these points 1 by 1

Inequality in boxers opportunities - not Khan's fault, every fighter will jump to get the best opportunities for themselves. Plus if you put Prescott in front of MAB, Kotelnik, Maidana does he beat them all, I doubt him? And I loved watching Khan getting smashed as much as anyone

Driving accidents - giving an inexperienced and young man the keys to an M6 or whatever Khan was driving is a recipe for disaster. It just is. Many inexperienced drivers also have accidents in their early years of driving due to inexperience. Personally I started driving unlicensed/uninsured so was ultra careful to never have any accident and never did (aside from accidently dragging another car out of a parking space when my A6/S6 wouldn't fit)

If that gentleman died, I'm very sorry for him and his family, that's a shame, although I think we need a source here? It doesn't make Khan a bad person, it makes him a young and reckless idiot though, but more so is his manager/promoter and father for telling him it was ok to drive such a car without driving experience

The Peterson fight - he wasn't robbed, but it could go the other way and this is coming from someone routing for Peterson, I can see Khan's argument here, close fight gone either way. If I was Khan I may well put out the same media circus to get a rematch, can't hold that against him too much (although I initially did). I mean how many fighters don't moan after a close loss?

Is Khan spoiled? Quite possibly, not such a bad egocentric type all thing considered though

 

..I really like this..

 

One thing about Toney's personality is that his anger and edge back in the days seemed more genuine.

Now it seems contrived.

 

If you run someone over at a pelican crossing, you're a ****ing ******* in my opinion

 

Jones strikes me as a good person, and a man who, despite the abuse he suffered as a child, has emerged less damaged than Toney.

That coaching he's getting is helping him let go of the need to insert himself everywhere possible. Still, I think that his commentary is about as bad as it gets. You can almost feel his defensive tension when someone brings up bogus belts and he may be the reason why the others don't bash the sanctioning bodies anymore.

His grammar is so bad it's annoying. He's going to be 50 years old and still have a compelling urge to call people "dog." I hope he can overcome hip hop's insistence that black men stay "authentic" (i.e. ignorant).

Antonio Tarver is another story altogether. I find his analysis really good, at times as good as Leonard's was back in the mid-80s. And Tarver actually corrected his own grammar by adding an "ly" to an adverb after botching it the first time. He got my vote as broadcaster of the year.

 

Loved watching both but Toney was my favourite. Proper old skool fighter.
