James Toney Vs. Tim Littles
March 5th, 1994
Los Angeles, CA, USA
+ IBF Super Middleweight Title

[Lazy Liberal]

Jame Toney is hands down the toughest fighter of the last 20 yrs period. I can't think of any fighter that starts at 160 and goes up to heavyweight without being knocked out. He talks **** but unlike other fighters he doesn't run, he stands in front of you and digs into your gut and rips you with viscious uppercuts. A lot of people say that Roy Jones jr is more impressive than Toney but Toney took on all and ducked none.

james ****ed up iran barkley and jirov, they were never the same after JT beat them down

[-Antonio-]

He put on one of the best displays of pure skill that I have ever seen against Barkley. He was unbelievable in that fight. He may have been inconsistant and lazy outsite of the ring, but when he was at his best he was a great fighter. A sure hall of famer, although his steroid issues at the end of his career may keep him from being first ballot.

While James did shine that night I would never be sure that Iran Barkely was the same after any fight.............Rockin'

i think he has one of the best chins of all time

i think he has one of the best chins of all time

in his 70 wins, his 6 losses has never been tko or ko. thats how good his chin is.

roy got KTFO 2 times..toney?? none.

and not only that, toney has more wins than jones, and toney is almost 40.

and ... jones is a 3 division champion, toney is a 4 division champion (Middleweight,Light Heavyweight,Cruiserweight,Heavyweight).

setting the record straight

Jones won MAJOR titles at 160, 168, 175, HW.

Toney won MAJOR titles at 160, 168, 190.

Toney also won bull**** titles at 175 and HW.

So from this point of view Jones has won more belts than Toney.

However, Toney was the man in two divs (middle and cruiser). Jones was NEVER the lineal champ.

Finally Jones beat Toney fair and square, and if Toney failed to lose weight gradually it is his fault. Jones did not impose any ridiculous conditions at the table (he did not play a Duran-Leonard 2 on Toney). Jones just came in perfect shape and fought a perfect fight, nothing wrong with that.

Jones style could take him only to a short and impressive career. Toney's style (and uber-chin) makes for a long career.

Two of the three great fighters of the previous generation.
I think these "JT did not get KTFOed" and the possible answers "RJJ does not have two losses to Griffin and gifts" are pretty useless debates.

If you want to see a great close fight with a young toney digging deep in his arsenal of moves (against an often overlooked great technician) I recommend Toney-McCallum I.

I thought McCallum just shaded the fights with Toney.
