It is too bad Jones didn't keep his oppenent at the same level as Toney. A few more fights with guys at this level when Jones was in his prime and maye there would be less doubt too his legacy? Lefty
Who else was at James Toney's level at that time? Toney was considered one of the three best in the world, no other middle to light heavyweight (aside from Roy) was ranked pound for pound.
comedy i just thought you were a die hard calzaghe only fan
thats kl, everyone has they're opinions, i really do belive jones can and will win this fight, But its how he turns up on the night. I hope he has still got heart and wants to win, if he goes in there for a pay check he will loose alot of fans. if he goes in there and gives it his all then no matter what happens ill just be happy he gave it all he could. My favourite boxer, and stuck by him when tarver knocked him out. Alot of people just moved onto new boxers. I want this to be his final fight and for him to go out as a champ like he deserves.
Thats ok mate,Oh and i don't think he will be totally out fought in this fight!
And like i have said i ain't a great subscriber of the calzaghe style ,but as a boxing fan i will show his achievements respect ! how can i not!? with so many title defences etc etc
Although i respect calzaghe, Roy Jones,Nigel Benn,naz were my fav fighters of that time !
Believe it or not mate but i am a more of a Jones fan than i am a Calzaghe ! i would much prefer to watch Jones ! But just feel that this fight is at least 6 yrs to late for Jones! IMO!
For the record i think that winning the WBA heavy weight belt was Jones Greatest hour!
Me and my old man stayed up and watched that,and i can remember counting down the seconds in the last round lol

Toney has a granite chin:boxing:
It is a shame Toney always had trouble making weight. i think if he would have stayed at Light Heavy Weight he would have gave alot of people trouble there. I mean he was basically a blown up Middle Wieght / Super Middle Weight fighting guys like Sam Peter and Hasim The Rockman...I still love some of the interviews he did and his comments he is a funny dude..A real tough mutha ya know.....Lefty
One of RJ's best performances.
