Why did Eubank and Benn DUCK James Toney and RJJ?!!

[$partacus]

Would have, should have, could have. Jones was the one catching headlines, not Eubank and Benn.

Jones took his time beating his opponents btw. That was his style. I bet if he wanted to get them out of there early he could have done so...I mean he had the skills, athleticism, accuracy, power to do so better than Eubank could have done.

Toney was just a beast. An yes I've watched both Eubank and Benn fight. The only one out of the two that could have given Toney problems would be Eubank. Benn was just tailor-made for Tones.

That describes Jones very well, he had bags of talent but chose to use it fighting bums. Roy Jones was a protected fighter, if you can't see that you're blind.

Theres no point arguing with a ****** on national TV with millions watching. Toney is obviously not all there in the head.

It's not worth arguing on TV....but it's worth wanting to get the fight made after the Tv program was over.

These guys just didn't want none of Tone...but You British fellas are never going to admit that.

Toney did his best to get a fight with them, and as it turned out they didn't want none...I call that Ducking

I'll take that bet.

thing is...how are you going to prove it?

Roy Jones was a protected fighter, if you can't see that you're blind.

Yes Jones was a protective fighter, I'm not going to deny that.. Just like Calzaghe was an OVER-protective fighter fighting only in Britain and never wanting to fight the best that the Outside-World had to offer.

But I don't wanna turn this into a Calzaghe thread. Let's stick to Eubank/Benn ducking Toney

How do you know he did his best to make the fights? Because you found a clip of Toney talking **** on youtube?

[D-MiZe]

If Benn, Eubank and Watson weren't around at the same time. Then I'm sure that fight would have been made.

But Britain's SMW scene at that time was immense and they could easily make more over here than a fight against either Toney or RJJ in US.

[Albo Da Kid]

I'll take that bet.

I just proved it by pointing out all the advantages Jones had over Eubank lol...But like the guy aboe said "Jones was too protective" and took his time breaking his opponents down.

Well that was one of the most desperate attempts I've witnessed to get someone to fight you.. That and when Haye called out the Klitchkos

How would it look if the Klitchko's never responded to Haye?

Yup, but you know what the whole MW & SMW scene both in the Uk & US from 88 till 96 was just sick, you could rattle off about 10-12 names of top draw fighters.

re-check your facts, you are talking crap.
