      Roy Jones Jr vs James Toney is an example of what happens when you put a smarter fighter against James Toney.

        Brain vs Brain, I'd have to side with Calzaghe out smarting Toney.
        Boxingscene is dying, fact.

        Absoultley shocking.

        Calzaghe outthinking toney,

        With what?



        Its your opinion, but **** me, i cant legislate for that kind of post.

          If calzaghe could hardly land on a 43 year old hopkins.

          How on earth would he land on Prime James Toney?

          PS. I hope no one tries to tell me Calzaghe had more power than Toney at 168 pounds.

          This is why it depends on the judges.

          Appearantly, some judges like the flashyness of Calzaghe's pitty pat flurries.

          He doesn't even need to land them, they're too cute to ignore somehow.

            toney is far from smart, roy jones jr whooped that ass. And Calzaghe and roy both rely on there speed and agility.

              This forum is in real trouble, last week i had a calzaghe fan tell me he was like Marvin Haggler.

              This week i got someone telling the same calzaghe who couldnt land on a 43 year bernard hopkins, is gonna outthink a prime james toney.

              Then again, forums are for opinions i guess, i just dont how these people apply logic.

                  Newsflash.

                  Joe Calzaghe is no roy jones.

                  Ps. I think toney was on a drip to make weight the night before the fight, that was certainly not toneys prime.

                    Isn't it possible that people overrate James Toney's defense? Michael Nunn certainly was doing well against him.

                    And Toney's big claim to fame was ****ing Barkley up at 168, but in reality, was Barkley really anything more than a slugger that would be perfect for Toney's defense?
