    What do you mean no one is getting stopped??

    LOL

    It's not like Joe has a granite chin and air-tight defense.

    He's a sucker for right hands and always leans straight back.

      Jirov actually punches correctly, though.

        Doubt it.

        Not sure Toney would land as hard as the right forearm Roy landed in first round or the uppercut Kessler landed landed.

        Toney was never a huge puncher at 168 not as big as Jones or Kessler.

        The question would be would James throw as much or last 12yrs with Calzaghe throwing so much? Roy was spent and Hopkins utterly spent after 12rds with calzone.

            youre probebly not the only one, but imo Toney wasnt nearly as far behind as some people make him out to be. I would have had him winning the fight if Nunn had somehow survived the 11th and 12th.

            Nunn was in his hometown for that fight, so the judges scorecards might have been a little questionable. its not like Toney got lucky in the 11th...he had been hurting Nunn multiple times in the two previous rounds, and he also won some of the beginning rounds as well.

            I do see Calzaghe going down in this fight, but he would probebly take it well, like he always does.

              Yesh,an unmotivated Nunn gassed out after 9 rounds and got ko'd.So f.ucking what? If he was the defensive maestro you claim,then how come he sonned that badly in a boxing match?

                He has been knocked down 4x in 24yrs. And the shot Jones landed would have stopped a truck. calzaghe has never been on ***** street or on shaky legs.

                  Calzaghe wouldn't dare get in the ring with a prime James Toney, I promise you!
