"Jones avoided people who he knew could beat him."
Name them. Cite WHEN he did so.
Oh come on, like you don't know?
Everytime he went off running his mouth and people challenged him, he either ducked them, overpriced himself, or just plain ran out of the contract.
Which is one of the reasons why I hated the ****er.
You really expect me to remember each and every fighter he ducked right now?
Let's see.....Toney beat Nunn for the middleweight crown, back when Nunn was considered- at least- to be a top 5 lb4lber.
He beat Reggie Johnson. He then fought to a draw over one of ny all-time faves, Mike McCallum, back when Mike was still fighting extremely well. Despite being a huge McCallum fan, I scored the fight for Toney. See, I'm objective.
An out-of-shape Toney was given a lousy decision over Dave Tiberi, who outworked & outhustled him.
Toney moved up to 168 & put on a brutal CLINIC against the bad-ass Iran Barkley.
Toney stepped up to a lt. heavy, & scored a KO over ANTHINY HEMBRICK...this was a TUNE-UP.
Toney easily handled the very tough Tony thornton. He also demolished the talented Tim Littles, immediately after a head butt opened a 1" gash over his eye. A brilliant, brutal performance.
lol Nunn was consider a top five "pound for pounder"?
Iran Barkley was past his prime when he fought Toney, wasn't he?
As for the other guys, who are they?
I've only heard sparse mention of McCallum but not the others.
What about Toney's recent match?
Against a young fat powerless and unskilled nobody who beat up bums with huge loss records, yet Toney went the full 12 with him and only had him take a knee in the 9th round (I think) and never took advantage of it to KO him.

I have never said Toney is an excellent cruiser/heavyweight.
He's also been fighting forever.
Why don't you look at how well this guy, who is far past his prime, in age & weight, is still performing.
You have Toney, a naturally smaller man, beating guys larger than he....due to his skill.
then you have Wlad Klit....who is larger than EVERYONE he fights...but still has manged to get DUSTED 3 times !

C'mon sonny...use ya head !

You've been praising him on how great he is.
Toney is larger in gut size.
Wlad, I don't know what's up with him and don't care.
I like Vitali over Wlad anyway.
