Toney was 45-0 going into the fight, he may have had weight problems considering he weighed around 17 lbs over the limit on fight night (I think), and he looked pretty sluggish in there, but this could have been partly due to how good RJJ was. What do ya'll think about this?

      I don't know how anyone can't recognise that win unless you don't like Roy Jones?

        IMO

        if you look closely, the supposed "knockdown" will show that RJJ was standing on Toney's foot when he hit him... with the punch pushing him back while is foot is stood upon = guaranteed knockdown, but it shouldnt have counted

        not to mention, Toney was not new to being behind early and coming back with a KO or what not

        the win is what it is and that wont change, but even as a RJJ fan at the time, the knockdown was bull****
        yeah i agree a win is a win in my book but still they should haved fought again but thats always the problem with most fighters its their egos that get in the way of rematches

          if you're arguing with youngsters they probably know nothing about it. But yes I think besides the hw fight the toney win was his biggest win!

            One of RJJ's best wins of his career IMO

              Jones would have beaten any version of Toney with how he was fighting that night. Damnit he is the greatest fighter of all ****ing time in his prime. Too much talent in one human being.
