A Ready to Roll James Toney vs Roy Jones

[QueensburyRules]

- -His condition never changed from pregnant with FAT.

Where's my ol' buddy Boozo when we need him? He used to fill up my email telling me I never say these things to his face!

[billeau2]

I absolutely hated when a guy was faster than me. So what do I do? I turn it in to a brawl. James had no energy to brawl it out because of the weight loss. It's tough to see a slowed world class athlete, Toney, try to catch another fast as hell world class athlete, Jones.

In the ams the fast guy for me was Corey Johnson, so each time I turn it in to a brawl. And it worked 2 out of 3 fights against him. But the fights were definately frustrating, to say the least. But if you're properly prepared you can forge your war forward. James was unable to do that in his condition with Jones. ...…… Rockin'

Toney had the power to make that work, it is how he caught up to and beat Nun.

I would have thought Roy's feet would always be too fast for Toney, weight drained or not.

[IronDanHamza]

Obviously not because they are two completely different classes of fighter.

Roy Jones is an ATG once in a lifetime fighter and James Toney is a good fighter.

[_Rexy_]

Roy waited until Toney was on vacation to make the fight. If you watch the old fights Toney called out Jones after every fight he had at 168 and it took two years to make it.

Yes I believe an in shape Toney beats Jones. It’s why RJJ didn’t rematch Toney when they were both at Heavyweight.

That’s a nice fantasy you have created there. How long did it take you to think of it?

Er, yeah, probably because when James Toney moved up to 168 Roy Jones hadn’t even won his MW title yet.

Hilarious. Hilarious that you actually genuinely think that James Toney has a chance to beat Roy Jones

They could fight 1,000 times and Roy could beat him every time with one hand behind his back. They are totally different levels of fighter and no 100 excuses will change that.

They don't get it, Hammy. This place has been invaded by hicks & hacks from NSB since the so called pandemic struck.

[A.K]

Do you believe that that fight would have been explosive if James had not shown up so drained from making weight. He had nothing in there against Jones and that was the reason...…..Rockin'

I personally have told this story first hand but I’ll do it again. James took that fight off a Burger King extravaganza vacation 3 weeks out he barely trained.

I wasn't around then, so I can't comment either way. But he was always bustin' his a$$ sweating out to make weight...…...Rockin'
