James Toney is overrated, Calzaghe would have schooled him

[Marlin26]

calzaghe and sam peters make me hate boxing.

Calzaghe acted like he was a "super champion" for beating a past prime roy jones.

There are no words to describe my utter dissapoitment in Calzaghe

[oldgringo]

We can disagree on this. I'm not saying Toney is a bad fighter, but the praise he gets around here is sometimes ridiculous.

Like what specifically?

Well one that he could beat the Klitchskos....

People saying he would have easily beaten Calzaghe and Hopkins is a little over the top too. Or he has a better resume then Hopkins is questionable too.

People just view him as a lot better fighter because of the names he has on his resume. He never had that dominance Jones, Calzaghe, or Hopkins had

This is what I'm talking about ringo.

The fight itself is pretty close. Toney's slipperiness and counters would create problems for Calzaghe, but Calzaghe is very good at adapting and has the work rate to give Toney some problems.

the only hate toney should get is for being a fat bastard and having a foul mouth.

toney destroys calzagh

if toney could keep his weight under control, he could have the same kind of dominance that calzaghe had (i.e. fighting bums and past their prime boxers)

But he didn't.

Calzaghe fought top contenders who were good fighters. Middleweight, Super Middleweight, and Light Heavyweight all had underrated contenders due to the dominance of Hopkins, Calzaghe, and Jones.

I know you was playing calling Toney overated so I'm not responding to that ****. I would choose Calzaghe over Toney as well, but I doubt he would school him & it is a toss up fight for me in both competitors prime. I give Calzaghe the nod based on workrate
