    I would think JT was to slick and cagey for Benn.

        Toney would have countered Benn all night, Toney by decision

          I think Benn would have done better actually. I'm not sure that Toney would have found a really tough prime brawler like Benn so easy to deal with. Eubank would have boxed with Toney and I think that would have suited him better.

          I do think though that Toney is wildly overrated. he is nowhere near the class above that he is made out to be, he just had a very unique style. For me both Benn and Eubank would have given him plenty of trouble, although picking a winner I think is tough.

            I went with Toney by UD. I just think he's too good for Benn at that weight.

                james toney by UD, maybe TKO stoppage in the late rounds. toney is a better version of all the guys who beat benn - a slick counterpuncher. watson outboxed benn, prime eubank did also. james would school and humilate nigel benn, toney and benn are both two of my favorite fighters of all time

                  I do defend British fighters Daggum, but only the ones that I think are good. Also, when I defend them, I try to explain why by comparing them to the other boxers I'm talking about.

                  The only threads I've seen you make are ****** ones criticising British fighters, or more accurately their fans, and the only reason you seem to have for your criticism is simply that the fighters you don't like are British, which isn't really a very good reason, is it?

                    i'm only pointing out how biased you are i like plenty of british fighters but when you pick prime calzaghe over prime jones and you think benn-toney is a toss up it doesn't really make sense from a boxing perspective. we all know they would have a chance but if you had to pick a winner no one would pick them honestly.

                      Not getting into it now, I've done so elsewhere, I'll only say this:

                      Which is more biased, believing that a fighter like Nigel Benn has no chance against Toney, or believing he might beat him?

                      Which is more biased, believeing that the current undefeated SMW and LHW champ could KO the three times KOd Roy Jones, or believeing that there is no way he could?

                      It's not me who is biased my friend.
