You know who PBF reminded me of in the Hatton Fight??

The left hook he dropped Hatton with was James Toney esque for sure

 

haha i thought the same thing...only if toney was fighting ricky (p4p) toney would have sparked ricky before 6. simply cos toney would stand infront of ricky, make him miss and make him pay FAST!

the thing with mayweather is, he is a mix of toney and jones. toney is the betta boxer, he is ALWAYS defensivly responsible whilst being offensiv. unlike floyd who funnily is more defensively oriented than toney, he runs, but when he attacks, he gets caught clean sometimes with jus doesnt happen to toney. whereas when when toney throws a combo is ready to defend. it is hard to find a moment when toney gets caught clean with more than 1 punch, or even find a decent 1 punch land.

the way toney can mix/blend offense and defense is beautiful watch!

 

Apart from Roy Jones, perhaps. It was Toneys misfortune to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's a shame that certain people on here mock the guy cos of his heavyweight career....if he'd had the discipline to keep his weight down he'd have owned that 168 division once Jones moved up, I've certainly not seen a better fighter at that weight apart from Jones.

Cue the Calzaghe nuthuggers.....:roll:

 

Agreed, his defense was a thing of beauty, and like everyone has mentioned - even the defensive greats don't blend offense in as well as he does.

 

Hmmm. I didn't get that impression. The lead rights, which is Floyds butter punch, isn't in Toney's game plan.

 

when he started letting combos go he reminded me of shane mosley.

 

Toney usually rolls his shoulder, then shoots the right hand, Floyd jumps in with the right lead. Totally different. Just my opinion.

 

DaVE TIBERI anyone ? I can mention a couple of others also ! TONEY did ****all at 168 to think he would beat JOE ! I see your usual patrinization ! :tired

 

One win by Americas best fighter against a travelling lighter fighter and your all back slapping each other as if all American fighters are invincible,lol....dont remember UK fans doing the same when LAcy got spanked bad when he WAS actually a SM.

 

yeah jamenes toney was truley an artist
