    all right, I'm getting sick of this ***.

    Toney beat Jirov by a longshot from my point of you. I'm sick of you only supporting white fighters that you want to have sex with, you little ****.

      There's a myth about the Toney-Nunn fight.....& that's everyone saying that Toney won via a miracle KO.

      Truth is....Toney swept the fight from the 7th rd. on. Go back & watch it. Toney began reaching Nunn with big counter rights, starting in the 7th rd.
      With each succeeding round , he was landing harder & more frequently.
      He BUILT UP to the big bomb which dropped Nunn like the sack of **** he was.
      Damn, that was great night. I truly hated Michael Nunn.

      It's a tough call between the Nunn & Jirov fights.
      Nunn was faster & far trickier than Jirov.....but Jirov is a big, strong as hell mofo....& Toney was at an age & weight beyond his true best.

      Can't decide.

        Thank god somebody else knows what they're talking about...course its jabs.

        Toney started getting to Mike at the end of the 7th and a bit more in the 8th. By the 9th and tenth round James was in control and was landing very good counter rights and short left hooks. I love how people describe Toneys KO in the 11th as lucky, when it clearly WAS NOT. Just before he lands the first KD hook, Toney sets Mike up a little. He hit him with a good uppercut that backed Nunn up, and then he pawed with his jab a little bit just to lull Nunn to sleep. The perfect usage of the old school tactics...hit with something good and then just touch em a little to set em up for the hard shots.

        Of course then he landed the first big right hook that put Nunn on ***** street, and then followed with the HUGE left hook that put him down and basically ended the fight. Nunn had no chance after that.

          I think Toney's best victory was vs. Jirov...that was an impressive performance by JT.

            Toney outboxed him badly. Toney landed at something like a 50% clip in that fight.

              I would say McCallum and Jirov.
