Roy Jones vs James Toney at Heavyweight?

[Bozo_no no]

Neither does Toney, So i'd take Roy, but than again I'd take RJJ against anyone except Tarver. Tarver was the only person i have ever bet against Roy with, not because he is better but because of his style, and the fact that he is the only guy to ever into into Roy's head

Roy's a fighter that has always relied on speed and reflex.

Toney's bread and butter is counter punching and great D.

Roy's slowed more than a step, and isn't a Heavyweigh; especially after coming off back to back KO losses at Lt Heavy.

For him to pack on 25 lbs and get in the ring with Toney wouldn't be a good idea at this point.

Think it through.

Two years ago, yes.

Now, no.

Toney is the type of fighter who's still effective in his mid to late 30's.

Roy isn't.

Both of em dominated Ruiz. Fairly even match IMO. I'd probably pick Jones though cuz Toney won't be putting pressure on Jones the way Tarver and Johnson did. It'll be a fight of counterpunches and Jones is fasta than Toney.

Totally agree.

But, add Jones makes it an all-night outside fight with only a few cliches. Toney's slip-n-slide game on the ropes never materializes. Jones gets a wide UD.

If the fight took place after Jones beat Ruiz (and providing Roy didn't cut that weight to make 175 again) I'd say Roy.

Now, Toney would win, becasue Roy doesn't have the same speed and reflex he did a few years back.

agreed. roy doesnt have the stuff now that he did then. and besides, toneys got his roids to give him the edge.

toneys got his roids to give him the edge.

Yeah, as if he's ever used more roids than Roid Jones

[TheEvilSaint]

Yeah, as if he's ever used more roids than Roid Jones

by now, jones needs more than just roids to beat an already juiced up HW james toney.
