    Toney seems so nervous.
    It would be because Toney was fighting nobodies at SMW and Eubank and Benn were fighting far greater comp.

    Just consider at that time that Benn and Eubank were training for the biggest SMW fight of that time whilst Toney was training for I think Pranther at that time :lol::oops::patsch

    What I want to say: Because Eubank was a coward.

    The truth: Because Eubank was a coward.

    Benn, however, was not a coward. Reasons why Benn/Toney didn't happen: I'm not sure. I do know that Benn was taking mostly mediocre fights in Britain, and Toney would not be prepared to fight in Britain.

    The only reason Eubank/Benn was as big as it was is because they were both British. If either of them were from a different nation it would have just been your regular title fight. It sure didn't warrant super-fight status based on the ability they had, Burns/Mitchell involved two fighters of a similar standard.

    Burns/Mitchell was nowhere near the same magnitude.
    Both Benn and Eubank were 2 weight world champs, both active SMW world champs, both had the best SMW resumes of active SMW champs and there was a huge grudge between them.
    Both were willing to fight the other whilst Toney talked and fought Pranther :lol:.
    When did Toney travel like Benn or Eubank to take on a SMW world champ :oops:
    Now PatheticSquealer, you better run along before this thread gets too much for you

    Both had the best SMW resumes, despite the fact Benn's best result at the weight was an unimpressive win over Mauro Galvano?

    Want to try again?

    Who did Toney beat who was better at SMW?
    Benn had also beaten future SMW world champ Malinga at SMW, so tried again and pwned you again :lol:

    Tim Littles - the same Tim Littles that beat dominant WBA champ Frankie Liles.

    That wasnt a better win than Malinga dummy :lol::patsch.
    Littles hadnt beaten Liles when Liles had done anything and got completely owned by Liles when they fought after Liles grew into being a champ.
    Littles hadnt beaten any rated fighter than whilst Galvano was a winner of 3 SMW title fights and tell me rather than duck the question like you did before, when did Toney travel to fight a SMW champ :oops:.
    Duck the question again PatheticSquealer

    He beat Frankie Liles when Liles was improving and on the way up - and almost certainly already of a quality superior to Malinga who was always proven to be tough but limited or Galvano, who needs no downplaying. Your rampant ******ation may not realise this, but it's not really my problem.

    Most of the relevant action was going on in the USA - no need for Toney to go out of the country. However, he probably travelled further distances from his home city than Benn ever did for a SMW title fight. In fact he almost certainly did.

    Owned again.

    You havent owned anybody, you are waffling and not answering the question :oops:.
    when did Toney travel to fight a SMW champ :oops:.
    Duck the question again PatheticSquealer

    So do you think Littles who had done nothing but beat an up and comer who hadnt done anything was better than beating a reigning world champ :lol::patsch.
    Most relevant action wasnt in the U.S. at SMW, the biggest SMW title fight to come at that time was Benn/Eubank and both were reigning champs taking on better comp, the action was in the UK.
    What big fights before Toney/Jones were happening in the SMW in the U.S?
    Duck another question :lol:

    :D:lol::lol:

    16 million watched Eubank-Benn. I like that ******ed comparison you made regarding their 'skill levels' as well.


    Toney was scared shitless by both, as was Roy.
