Nigel Benn (Prime) Vs (Prime) James Toney at 168

[Steak]

Benn was one of my favorite fighters, but Toney was just allllllll wrong for him.

The fight would be similiar to Barkley vs Toney, except a little closer and it would probebly go on longer...and Benn would throw less than Barkley, but throw harder punches.

but Benn aint gonna be able to finish this fight.

If you want to put it into perspective, Benn lost to Watson...who got beat pretty bad by McCallum...who lost to Toney. thats pretty loopy lol, but honestly, Benn's style was just not meant to deal with someone like Toney.

yeah i agree 100% out of all the MW /SMW to pick from Toney was the hardest fight stylistically for Benn

Benn would have faired better against a taller fighter like Nunn IMO and that would be damn a hard fight for him to win

Why do you think Toney was a tough style match for Benn?

woah! Nunn vs Benn...now that is a fun matchup. I bet that fight would have been legendary haha, Nunn would be beating the stuffing out of Benn and Benn would never give up and end up just bombing the hell out of him in the last rounds. thats was the Nigel Benn way, and I can honestly see that fight going that way.
or...Benn would end up getting beat up the way Eubank dealt with him.

but you can almost never count a fighter like Benn out in a fight lol...such huge amounts of raw power. unless its, well, James Toney haha.

Toney wins a decision, but ****ing Benn knocking him out? People on here are pathetic, this is almost as disapointing as hearing that Micky ****ing Ward would be John Duddy in his prime.

Why do you think Toney was a tough style match for Benn?

because Benn is just a slightly more skillfull fighter than Barkley IMO he throws wide punches & most the time they are exclusively hooks on top of that Toney was quicker & had to much skill for Benn

that philly shell of Toneys is made for catching or slipping hooks

yeah i saw how much trouble Benn's low style gave another tall fighter in McClellan fits he just could not get out of the way of the over hand rights or the hooks coming around the side of the guard & Nunn used to hang his chin out a a lot IMO

on the other hand Nunn was on a par with Roy Jones IMO for speed & he had tremendous ability and if there is one thing that Benn struggled with it was fighters who could jab on the backfoot and set him up for right hands like Eubank did & how Anthony Logan had him on the deck ,how Mauro Galvano hurt him in there remacth towards the end of the fight

are you serious?

It was question. What would I have to be serious about? Chill out dude, it wasn't a challenge.

I see what you're saying, but Barkley was shot when he fought Toney, he couldn't see and had nothing in the tank. Benn at his best was dynamic and monstrous. I'm not dissing Toney at all, but I just have this vision in my head of Toney standing in front of Benn bending from the hips and waving his head around the way he did and Benn trying to play Whack-a Mole with him.

Its probably me being one sided though, Toney was no chump thats for sure.
