    note I said he was a great fighter.

    you combine the 2, great fighter and great matchmaking and you get an unbeatable looking fighter.

    Jones edged Hopkins, who wasnât ready for Jones at that point in his career, what most people donât know, this fight was actually quite close, with hopkins turning it up late. Jones had the commentating in the bag and the flash to sell the win. Which perhaps he edged, but the fact is Hopkins really deserved a rematch.

    with Toney, probably Jones greatest victory - we still gotta mention Toney was killing himself to make the weight. This fight Toney struggled to find Jones, but make no Mistake, Jones seriously struggled to hit Toney. Once again, commentating in the bag for Jones. Had Toney been in good shape the version a few years back, it could have been a different fight.





    The difference between Toney, Hopkins and Jones is.... Toney never fought Calzaghe..

    However the similarity between Toney and Jones was BOTH were on PEDS

    Enough on you diminishing Jones greatest win. Toney was ready for the fight. Jones struggled to hit Toney? The card read


    When the fight ended and went to the judges' scorecards, all three had different scores, all with Jones ahead. Jones won the unanimous decision victory with scores of 119–108, 118–109, and 117–110.


    There was not a demand for a re-match at 168, 175, or 190!

      It’s a ****** argument anyway.

      Toney “killed himself to make weight” against Jones is an illogical argument because that’s the same version of any version of Toney during that time frame that did the same weight cutting for all his fights.

      The fact of the matter Toney is not on Jones level. He’s over 10 levels below him.

      Every single piece of data points to that.

          I disagree with most of this. Jones, Hopkins, and Toney were brought along around the same time. Toney had more pro experience than Roy and Bhop, fighting all styles and not ducking nobody. Roy came out on top fair and square and without too much issue imo. Toney's weight excuse was only a thing after Jones pitched the shutout, but prior to that he went undefeated with the same pre fight weight issues.

            The only thing you toss is your cookies after an all night bender you're so familiar with. You won't post proof because there isn't any.

                  He thought you meant to ask what proof the rat gut he was drinking was and went to check on it.
