    Titles often change hands by up-and-comers being better than current champs - Correct? Thought so.

    Therefore it's possible for a non-title holder to be better than a titlist. Correct? Again, yes.

    Said non-titlist beats future dominant champ on points. Probability of unexposed fighter being better than mediocre titlist = High.


    Also:

    Michigan to New Jersey = 643.46 miles apart.

    Michigan to Oklahoma = 886.45 miles apart.

    Michigan to California = 1837.65 miles apart.

    That is in 3 SMW fights that Toney had. When was the last time that either Benn or Eubank travelled over 1500 miles for a SMW title fight?

    That's what I thought. Owned.

    Benn didn't beat McClellan until after Toney lost to Jones. And Jones was suppose to fight McClellan if he beat Benn the fight was pretty much signed and sealed.

    And Toney sparred with McClellan regularly and he had no fear of him.... or Benn, Eubnak or any other fighter in history

    You are talking about of your ass. Eubank and Benn avoided RJJ and Toney.

    I don't see Benn going out of his way to avoid anybody. Wasn't his way.

    Toney wanted all of them. He also wanted Julian Jackson at 160 but Don King wouldn't put Jackson in with him.

    It is a fact Eubank and Benn didn't want to fight Toney and Toney very much so wanted Benn and Eubank.

    Watson took Benn's 0 in his prime. Got robbed in the first fight with Eubank and was whooping his ass in the rematch and dropped him in the 11th right before Eubank landed his hail mary. And they were all prime.

    Collins fought a past it Eubank and Benn and the McCallum fight was probably McCallum's best preformance.

    Watson was world class.

    Eubank flat out ducked. Benn not fighting better fighters was Waren's doing. Benn was a hard man no doubt.

    You've lived up to your name of PatheticSquealer, you have avoided the questions and not been able to back up the part you said about the big SMW fights being in the U.S. where I brutally exposed your argument and made you squirm
    Why have you ducked the questions?

    when did Toney travel to fight a SMW champ :oops:.

    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: AGAIN :oops:

    So you duck the questions and talk about the size of America :lol:

    Yeah because at SMW Toney took on all comers, just look :oops:

    look at the level Toney was fighting at, when SMW champ

    1993 he wins the title from iran barkley a fighter who years earlier was blown away by nigel benn in 1 round and pummelled to a loss by a shot roberto duran barkley went onto lose 11 out of 25 fights following this fight and never beat anyone who was remotely good in doing so,the guy was so desperate he was even plying his trade as a HW in the late 90's against the likes of berbick and they say this era is a joke

    govonor chambers a guy with a career record of 9 wins 7 losses, all 3 fights prior to toney were ko losses!

    ricky thomas: won 11 lost 14,the 4 fights he had prior to toney all losses!

    glenn thomas:won 29 lost 8, lost to roy jones prior to toney and finished his career with a first round ko loss to jeff lacy.

    danny garcia: won 30 lost 22, was coming off losses to chris pyatt (a steve collins victim) lamar parks etc

    larry prather: won 19 lost 24,lost his last 5 fights prior to the toney fight even losing to nicky piper

    tony thornton: won 37 lost 7,lost to chris eubank a year earlier.

    anthony hembrick: won 31 lost 8,lost to maske prior to toney and orlin norris a year earlier.

    tim littles: won 27 lost 3,maybe one of his better wins,had fought mainly bums with the exception of a close UD over frankie liles,went onto lose to frankie liles in a 2nd contest following the toney fight.

    vinsom durham: won 21 lost 37 enough said.

    charles williams: won 37 lost 7 drew 3,lost to maske prior to toney.

    and finally the Jones fight and, That was Jones big SMW victory where Toney was alledgedly weight weakend, other than that Jones didnt do much at SMW.
