James Toney: ATG Or Not?

[oldgringo]

44-0 when he fought jones

Oh right, I'll have to boxrec it next time.

[oldgringo]

Oh and Ann Arbor

[MANGLER]

Yes he is.

[Mugwump]

Despite subsequent achievements, he was never the fighter he was prior to that Roy Jones loss. I think it scarred him mentally and he was never the same.

He wasted his talent on good living and food (the bane of many a good fighter) and thus cannot be considered among the greats, IMO.

He would have beat the piss out of slappy Calzaghe in his prime. I'll tell you that right now.

[lazyitis]

Of course not.

i agree his career virtually ended after the Jones fight he was never the same again the only notable wins he had after Jones was Jirov and a shot Holyfield

[Truth]

The Jirov fight was incredible though. Well it looks like based on these early polls that boxingscene.com does think James Toney is an all time great.

it was a very good fight but it was NO Barrera v Morales 1

actually i think Holyfield v Dokes was a far better fight aswell
