You would have to "find" pieces of that fat midget laying around the ring in order to "re-construct" him. Bernard Hopkins has a better chance at de-throning the heavyweights if he were to move up. he would destroy James Toney anyways.
    B-hop vs vitali? i liek it

      holyfield wasent weak in that fight, it was toney he was better. round by round he started to dominated and ko holyfield like holyfield did to tyson.
      ok so we will all say larry donald is a great fighter because he beat a very old and shot holyfield to then, lets just wait to see what toney does in his next fight, and then people can maybe praise him a little more

        his lost against larry was different than toney. before toney fight
        he had faught a lot of great boxer that make him stronger even if he lost. but after toney fight a underdog he started to lose confident and so on. so that fight vs larry holyfield was almost out. i gave toney credit for his great performance against holyfield he deserv it. yeah just wait to see toney´s next fight, i think he will win.

              what about Erik Morales before the Manny fight. Alot of people had him written off. Or it could just be the pro Manny threads all over the place.

                How do you know Holyfield was more confident going into the Toney fight than he was against Larry Donald? Did you visit his training camp for each of the fights? What evidence do you have to support your claim?

                Toney's defeat of Holyfield was not an impressive victory. Many middleweights and light heavyweights in the sport's history have moved up and fought at heavyweight and beat better guys than a shot Holyfield.

                Roy Jones's victory over Ruiz, while still not the historic achievement he claims (he was never the linear champion as he and others on this board have been quoted as saying), was a more impressive feat.

                    Thanks Roxy. They are one of my all time favorite bands. Have you listened to any Public Image Limited? They are the band Rotten formed when the Pistols broke up. Awesome stuff.
