Just how great is james toney?

[Parody]

Prime or not, Tarver would beat Jones.

Hell No.

Pre-2003 version beats Tarver, lets not forget Jones won in their first fight, and he was coming down from Heavyweight.

[-Antonio-]

Yeah I mean when you look at the Toney in the Littles and Barkley fight related to the Jones fight, its obvious he wasnt at his best physically and mentally. Still doesnt excuse it though, and Jones imo would have always beaten James.

The Griffin fights were supposed to get Toney a rematch with Jones. The second fight being one I thought he won.

Toney wasn't even 30 when he started losing. Roy Jones is nearly 40. Glen Johnson and Tarver were NOT bums.

Montell Griffin wasn't a bum either but Thadzi? He was a decent fighter and a title contender but he had no business beating Toney.

And Roy Jones is still fighting, he is fighting against Tito next week.

yeh 2 fights in 2 years rofl a very active roy jones haha hes stil fighting yes but hes hardly active at all.
I even reckon tito might ko jones

Toney always fight to the level of his competition though, so you cant really use that as an argument.

You can't say that about Floyd Mayweather, and that's why he is a level higher than Toney. He takes pride in his professionalism and always shows up in top physical and mental shape. That's why you should never hear Toney mentioned on the same plateau as Leonard and Mayweather. He hasn't earned it.

Griffin should've retired after the DQ win over Jones. He would be known as one of the greatest of this era.

[MELLY-MEL...]

toney is an atg for is past accomplishments! sadly now, he is a fat steroid pumpin loser! huge waste of talent.

Toney is 39 and is a little older the Jones, Toney had 80 career fights to Jones 55.

Thadzi really didn't beat Toney, I had Toney winning the fight.


Jones is fighting a washed up welterweight in a week.

[Ironside]

Hell No.

Pre-2003 version beats Tarver, lets not forget Jones won in their first fight, and he was coming down from Heavyweight.

Yea, but then he lost twice to him. The KO put fear into Jones. IMO Jones was always scared of Tarver. Even though Jones is one of my favorite fighters ever, I would always pick Tarver over him.

[GunStar]

Hell No.

Pre-2003 version beats Tarver, lets not forget Jones won in their first fight, and he was coming down from Heavyweight.

Half the press had Tarver winning the first fight too.

Toney is 39 and is a little older the Jones, Toney had 80 career fights to Jones 55.

Yeah? Toney has lots of fights, I don't understand what that has got to do with anything.

Thadzi really didn't beat Toney, I had Toney winning the fight.

It was still close enough for the judges to consider that he lost. If it was Toney at his best he would've knocked him out. Just like if it had been Roy Jones at his best he would've beaten both Tarver and Johnson.

Jones is fighting a washed up welterweight in a week.

What I meant was, RJJ hasn't stopped fighting yet. He said RJJ quit, well he hasn't. He is still fighting.
