Theres no damned way Whitaker won less than 9 rounds of that fight.

    James Toney:

    W - Nunn, McCallum x2, Barkley, Jirov, Johnson, Williams, Littles etc...

    He's only lost when he's come in severely out of shape or when he had to drain himself to make weight. Even though those aren't exactly legit excuses, they are true.
    Pernell is a great fighter the only time I ever saw him beat was againest Tito but that was past his prime like you said. Are you gona watch him on FNF this week?

    Plus James Toney I dont think I have ever seen seriously hurt, and like you showed before he has beaten awsome fighters over his career. Plus there is no other fighter with that ring calm he has.

        Besides his loss to Roy Jones Jr. all of Toneys losses could have gone either way. A lot of people said he got robbed againest Griffin both times and his MD loss to Drake Thadzi was a very tough fight to score.

              Azumah Nelson is one of the greatest fighters to ever fight in a ring. He beat Zoom Zoom prime for prime, that's pretty special.

              He also beat Chavez...and don't go there with the "well it was ruled a draw" because thats silly.

              Whitaker beat Ramirez, Haugen, Nelson, Paez, Pineda, McGirt x2, JC Vazquez, CHAVEZ, Rivera x2, an undefeated Hurtado...he beat plenty of very good fighters and yes...two greats.

              As for Toney, if you don't like the guy then you don't like the guy.

                Nothing to add there. Exactly what I would've written.

                    naw i dont dislike him at all, i just dont know how people say hes one of the best of all time and that hes going to clean out the Heavyweight division. Hes just not a good fighter at all. He struggled to beat Jirov Booker and lost to Ruiz. How the hell is he going to beat Vitali, Bryd, or brewster?? He cant even beat , Wlad, Peter , or Mcline
