    The objective is to win like Calzaghe always did, rather than to lose, like Toney has so many times!

    Even Sam Peter clearly outboxed Toney in the second fight.
    d objective is to win against fellow greats in their prime...

    not against tomato cans & out of prime fighters...

      haha wow...calzaghe would have been stopped in 5 rounds or LESS against toney at super middleweight..yea calzaghe is very good but he is NO james toney..and from what i see on here Toney is very underrated on this forum and in the boxing media..he never gets any respect for what hes done throughout his career..geuss you can partially blame that on his big mouth haha...but seriously.

          - 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!

            he was that good moron just his resume should been alot better.

                **** off the only person who would school calzaghe is roy jones period.

                    Prime Calzaghe would've broken his hands against Toney's brick head.

                      This is only about the second or third saying Toney is overrated.
                      lmao calzaghe wasn't past prime, he looked LESS physically capable even against Lacy.

                      Jones wasn't past prime, he was SHOT. Don't kid yourself. We saw how easily Tarver knocked out Jones to. Calzaghe didn't come close to that.
