Something to think about with Toney and Jones Jr.

right.... every major prizefight feels like an actual event, especially in hindsight, you really get to capture the mood, the feelings, the circumstances that were going on in 94 based on that one fightI love watching the preliminary discussions on an old school boxing event, it really sets you in the moment that the fight was taking place. Boxing is timeless, but to setting the mood makes it feel like it's live.
Watching all of the circumstances swirling around the fight, the atmosphere, it just really makes boxing come alive.Comment

I watched the whole HBO telecast earlier today, there really has never been anything like George Foreman before or since. James Toney to an extent, but even he never had that crossover appeal because everything he talks about is James Toney. Foreman, with his unlikely success story, really created a lot of interest in the sport.
It just makes me yearn for the days when a heavyweight champion bore relevance to everyday life, the way Tyson, Foreman, Ali have.Comment

Do you remember that infamous pre-fight interview with Toney and Jones Jr. that appeared on HBO? That took place on the HBO telecast of George Foreman's knockout win over Michael Moorer in November of 1994.
Holy %$^& that was a loooong time ago.
I was in second grade. That was the first year the Rockets won the NBA title, beating Patrick Ewing and John Starks and the Knicks. Mike Stanley was the Yankees' catcher and Jim Abbot was their ace pitcher.
The 49ers won the Super Bowl. It was the middle of Clinton's first term.
And Jones was in a PPV main event not long ago and James Toney is still a top 10 contender. WTF
2nd grade? wow...i was a junior in high school...lolComment
