So Toney lost to Michael Bentt..

[JUYJUY]

Toney lost to Bentt in the final of the 87 US nationals (201lbs!). Gerald McClellan destroyed pre-tournament favourite Tim Littles in the final at 156lbs of the 87 US nationals, McClellan won the 'best boxer' in all weight categories award. Then at the 88 Golden Gloves, McClellan beat Roy Jones Jr (McClellan was the last person to legitimately defeat Jones Jr before Tarver got him). Bernard Hopkins lost to Andrew Maynard at the 88 US nationals at 178lbs. Nigel Benn beat Henry Maske in 1984 at 165.

Just thought it was interesting that Hopkins was fighting at 178 and Toney at 201.

Also, Jones Jr beat Tarver in the final of the 1982 Florida Games but apparently it was a robbery (Tarver quit boxing for many years after this because he thought that he clearly beat Jones Jr).

FROM JUY JUY.... Toney lost to Bentt in the final of the 87 US nationals (201lbs!). Gerald McClellan destroyed pre-tournament favourite Tim Littles in the final at 156lbs of the 87 US nationals, McClellan won the 'best boxer' in all weight categories award.

FROM ICE... NO, Juy Juy, James Toney didn't fight in the nationals as an amateur... in 1987 Bent beat Joe Pemberton in the finals...and Hopkins didnt fight MAYNARD IN THE 88 nationals...I was there... and Bernard wasnt even there. Benn didnt beat Maske, either.

Well at what event did Toney fight Bentt, AAU? And Hopkins against Maynard and McClellan against Littles? Maybe it wasn't nationals, I thought AAU was nationals. And according to the records Benn did beat Maske.

Also ICEMAN, you said Virgil Hill went to the 82 World's for the US (because Breland said), but everywhere I see Iran Barkley's name not Hill's. It WAS Barkley dude, they can't make so many mistakes on so many records.

James did either fight Bentt in amateur or spar with him before he turned pro coz Ihave heard this before .but James definately did'nt go to nationals James only did local golden gloves and won silver gloves a few times before Lindell Holmes spotted him and hooked him up with Bill Miller who made him train hard and lose fat . This is the story I heard.
