Roy Jones and James Toney are HOFers and ATG not tony but RJJ is. Yet, Benn is able to beat RJJ while James Toney and Hopkins were not able to do so. I am not bias as you Calzaghe fans who will go to the end of the world and hype his resume. Roy Jones in his Prime would be able to KO Benn or Eubank. You talk about these guys like they are ATG, which they are not. Calzaghe hardest fight was against Hopkins IMO and just escaped with a SD and getting knocked down. The difference of boxing ability is HUGE. Why didn’t Benn or Eubank fight James Toney when he insulted them on English TV.
21 year old Joe Calzaghe I suggest haters watch this!

Benn was often little more than a slugger, who did avoid punches by ducking very low but he could still be hit rather easily. Against McClellan he took plenty of punishment, both did, he just found the courage within himself to keep going forward despite it.Benn has a very akward style the best way to pin Benn down and hit him is to double the jab and follow up witht the right hand thats how Eubank put him away and how Mauro Galvano hurt him in their 2nd fight and McClellan only found him in the 9th round cause he stopped trying to knock his head off and started using the jab and he followed up and he had Benn going again in the 9th round Benn is a difficult target to hit when he bobs and weaves and comes out of rolls throwing hooks etc
Jones hardly ever uses the jab so i think he would find it hard to land cleanly on Benn what with Benn's akward low style id still make Jones favourite obviosly but in Benn he would have faced a style that he has never faced before so allthough i have him winning it would be a hard nights work for him
As we know McClellan was never cared much for defense, Benn knew that as long as he could stay up on his two feet he would always have a chance at finding McClellan who was right there in front of him.

Benn admits he is a good fighter and also that the fight will be hard already was conceding defeat. James Toney was confident and he would have easily won if they fought. Eubank is a little girl, Toney has got under his skin and is about to cry. Look at the hand shake at the end.Comment

Yeah he was totally scared because he didnt trade "yo momma" jokes with him.
He made Toney look like a child in all honesty. Im a huge fan of Toney but he shouldnt be given a microphone and he got owned there.Comment

Owned is your mother being abused on TV and you crying about and not threatening the man who said those words. Eubank cried like a girl, I felt bad for him. Shame on you Toney for embarrassing him on National TV, bad boy.Comment
