Better Resume: James Toney Vs Roy Jones Jr

[The Gunner]

there two completely different resumes, who accomplished different things in there careers, its hard to compare them, but of course you would have to take his losses into consideration, as long as u take toneys...

Of course, your right. Both fighters loses have to be took into consideration.

It can be argued that Toney only has one legit loss on his record and that was to Roy.

Roys been brutaly KO'd twice and lost two very clear decisions too.

Ive got Toneys career set and i have to say i think he only lost two fights. The fight with Roy and one of the Peter fights.

I had him losing to Oquendo too but thats went down as a win for him.

at the time roy fought him malinga had suffered mostly UD and MD losses, he was never stopped and roy stopped him in 6...

anyways, i dont thikn malinga should be the focal point of this thread...

i gata go tho! been on here all day!

see ya guys

Agreed and laterz!

Roy Jones is rater higher ATG because he has the better resume. Simple. And not not just because he beat Toney either--I don't recall anyone saying Vernon Forrest has a better resume than Shane Mosley just because he won.

I don't know how you guys create your resume but losses don't count. You don't get an A for effort.

Michael Nunn is James Toney's best win IMO and that is outdone by Roy Jones' victory over...James Toney.

McCallum and Jirov have to be considered Toney's next best wins. I'm not sure why anyone would list Reggie Johnson for James Toney and not Roy Jones. Johnson at 160 was one heck of a fighter (beating Steve Collins, for instance) but he was pretty damn good at 175 as well--his highlight reel KO of William Guthrie stands out to those who remember Guthrie had been hailed as the man to defeat Roy Jones. And while Toney barely edged Johnson (getting dropped in the process), Jones dropped him twice and didn't lose five seconds of that fight. He was just on another plane.

I think debates like this occur because one fighter ages quicker due to styles. And fans either forget or weren't fans that long. That doesn't change facts and what one 's accomplished. I doubt those who pick Toney would pick Foreman over Ali .
