Some footage here from the the late great Emmanuel Stewards collection.
Who'd you think would have won if they fought in 1990? Some brutal sparring right here, let's hope Mannys collection gets released soon how amazing would that be.
Awesome footage.
G Man was a mother****er. I think Toney could take the punches but I dont think his face would hold up to those rights all night. Real boxing right here folks.
You mad? G Man was getting schooled. He's overrated - end of. He hit James with barely anything clean and even if he did hit Toney clean it wouldn't do anything - James Toney has one of the best chins I've ever seen. If Benn can last as long as he did vs the G man do you think Toney would struggle?
Awesome footage.

Toney was absolutely schooling him in there. He rolled or slipped most of the punches and towards the end was making the G-man look like a joke. He's just one of the most relaxed fighters I've seen in the ring. So comfortable in there it is unbelievable - he always knows where to move and what to do. In a fight G-Man would have no chance because - not only does Toney have a great defence - his chin is iron.
james toney, the only man to successfully emulate and carry on george benton's style. And before anyone says oh the shoulder roll has been around for longer, which it has, im talking about their way of fighting. Both are carbon copies.
P.s. I completely hate people calling this style the philly shell when its been around for so much longer or these ****ing boxing commentators not paying homage to all boxers before who successfully used and were known for this style, rather than just say oh the mayweather style. Wtf go learn your history mu'fckas
this!!!!!!!!
Always loved Toney style, he had defense but he wasn't afraid to get HIT and he was a absolutely MONSTER INSIDE!
Toney reflexes was UNREAL, he could feel what you was going to throw before you even threw it

Quoted for the truth!

THIS is boxing. None of that pushing your opponent against the rope, and holding there. None of that throw a combo then clinch, because you don't know how to in fight. None of that holding and hitting BS. None of that grappling mess we saw in Guerrero vs. Berto.
