James Toney vs Julian Jackson

[Rockin']

in my opinion theres only a handfull of fighters that could have beaten james toney in his prime middle weight days....and right now the only 2 that come to mind are roy jones and marvin hagler, maybe the sugar rays aswell but other than that it would be a strech

I agree, James was an incredible fighter. I think that his trouble making weight played a part in the Jones fight. He was always drying out for his middleweight defenses........Rockin'

James did not have great power, his strength was skill. I'd take James over Jackson by decision........Rockin'

Well u probably know better than me here. I just think Toney while not a huge puncher had the skills to land enough shots to get him outta there, Like Iron Mike says McCallum stopped him and i agree i can see counter right hands punishing Jullian

Sure James lost some fights, but those guys were not bums. .......Rockin'

Julian had devastating power, but no real method of delivery against a slippery guy like James. He’d probably drop every round before getting KO’d late.

Even landing wouldn't help him that much. Toney has one of the best chins of all time, I can't see him getting stopped at such a low weight (he never even had a real down there) when he's capable of taking heavyweight punches.

True, seeing him up at HW -- his chin would’ve probably withstood a handful of Julian’s bombs. But with his elusiveness at 160 it’s hard to envisage Julian even testing the theory.

Always thought highly of Toney in all fields, bar those mammary glands.
