James Toney is overrated, Calzaghe would have schooled him

[Ben_London.]

James Toney is the most overrated fighter of the past 20 years.

- He has two losses to Sam Peter, who has shown us his limitations in later fights. He lost to people like Drake Thadzi who is not a world-beater, and twice to Montel Griffin...

- Toney should have more losses on his record: he was recently given a gift against Fres Oquendo, and then there was the fight with Danny Batchelder, where he received more underserved rounds from the judges. Dave Tiberi was robbed in his fight with Toney, even James himself now admits he should have lost that one.

- James has twice been caught cheating with steroids, after the Ruiz fight and after his Batchelder bout.

James Toney was schooled by Roy Jones, and losing to Roy isn't so bad. But when we consider how easily a past prime version of Joe Calzaghe defeated a slightly more past prime version of Jones, it seems obvious to me that a prime Joe Calzaghe would have schooled a prime James Toney!

calzaghe is not over rated, not saying toney is either but calzaghe deserves respect, the boxing world is worse place without him than with him, i aint gona hate on toney but steroid use is cheating, cal never cheated, and he proob would have beaten him, no one beat cal so its hard to say who would have

James Toney's performances tended to go up and down just like his weight. It's a shame because when he trained, when he was on, he was special.

I agree 100%

Prime 4 Prime....Calzaghe wins by UD

[PrettyBoyRoy 88]

Both Calzaghe and Toney are overrated. Prime Jones would have gotten Calzaghe out under 5, look at Calzaghe vs Jones, First round knock down for a past prime Roy.

Lol that was a good laugh but lets get serious now.....

[Sweet Pea 50]

Would have loved to seen Enzo and Toney at a press conference. The **** talk would have been ATG classic....
