Why is Jones penalized for not rematching Toney

Toney was owned. End of story.

He would always be owned, it's a stylistic thing and it would have made no difference under any circumstance.

All Jones has to do is evade and then throw combinations while timing bigger shots and he wins 10/10 times, Toney will always shell up into his defense by instict and it would be this way round after round in 10 different fights and 10 different scenerio's.

 

I agree

It's stupid to penalize Jones for not fighting Toney a second time. He not only beat him convincingly, but he schooled/dominated him. No need for a rematch.

 

no need for the rematch, Toney went on to lose to griffen twice and kind of fall off the top of the middle wieght circuit for awhile and would later resurface at cruiser to fight Jirov in the fight of the year in 02 and ressurect his career and later go on to become a top contender at Heavywieght division.

 

Because nobody likes a perfect fighter unless they are from decades ago.

People want flaws, they want to see struggle and they want see grueling conditions before they believe in a product.

Jones seemed to coast through his career winning every fight with such ease as though a cheat code had been installed in his body to give him the extra ability to make it look that much easier. His competition was good but not great.

A Win over DM, Collins, Eubank or Benn would have added more depth to his resume but his wins over Toney, Tarver, Hopkins and Hill are certainly impressive.

The point is when negotiations came around Jones had more leverage than Toney or Hopkins. If they truly wanted the rematch for legacy or history they should have given in to Roy's terms. After all, their fights with Jones were not close and neither Bhop nor Toney had a better market value than Jones.

 

Jones took Toney to school. IMO a rematch would have been just a waste of time. Actually come to think about it if Roy scored a knock down like he did in round 3 of their first fight..it would have been worth it.

 

No need for a Toney rematch, as it was a complete blow-out. A Hopkins rematch would have been awesome since the first fight was close, much closer than people seem to think, and a rematch would have been amazing.

 

Yes, it was a clear win, but it was close. People exaggerate the margin, and HBO scoring was a pathetic joke.

 

I dont know about amazing in terms of action but I believe that Jones would have beaten Hopkins again.

 

When it's one sided like it was do we really need to see a repeat?

 

Well, I think it would be a very rough affair, with Hopkins holding and hitting and Jones trying to be as evasive as possible, but it would be a classic.

 

No, I agree, Jones won the fight. Still, as you said, it was his toughest fight in his prime. The Griffin fight also was very tough, but I think he cleared up anything in the rematch that he outclasses Griffin.

Heading to bed just now, but ya, to answer your thread, there is definitely no need for a Jones vs. Toney rematch. Not now, not ever.
