    I thought Toney was going to be one of the fighters of the 90's.

    I absolutely expected him to dominate Roy Jones.

    Roy really showed how special he was that night.

      To me, out of Jones, Toney and Hopkins, James should've been the greatest. Skill-wise to me, he was. But the discipline...smh. Either way though, I doubt he ever beats Roy. Just a terrible style matchup for him.

        Toney should've taken the fight at 168 not 160.

            The fight was at 168 bro. LHW would have been good, but Roy was just moving up from Middleweight.

              That should read the other way. My bad. Sorry reed.

                I don't think Toney would ever beat Roy now, Roy's too much for anyone at 168 IMO.

                But back then, I just thought Toney was on another level to Roy.

                To be honest I didn't think much of him at that time, the Toney fight made me a fan.

                Toney is still a great fighter but he could have been much more. Guy was eating at fast foos joints during training camps in his prime

                    I'm a big toney guy (after Hagler and Floyd). I really though he could've won but Roy really was good.

                      Bring it on. Nunn? Collins? DM? Who do you want to talk about next?
