    James Toney

    Is it just me, or do Toney's wins definetly overshadow his losses, whereas other fighters (Roy Jones, Hopkins to name a few) get more slack because of there losses.

    I think people seem to forget that James Toney lost to Griffin twice, and of course Roy Jones.

    Thoughts?

    When Toney lost to Griffin he was in extremely bad mental shape. He was a mess who didn't even like to box anymore.

      Toney was a disgrace in the shape he was in, and had lost all his drive.

      Even still, those losses were very competitve.

      The Jones fight is the only one he really got shown up in, and that's forgivable considering a prime RJJ is no shame to lose to.

          he was weight drained when he fought Roy Jones Jr and still made the fight competitive.

            Competitive?

            It was a one-sided beating.

                    hmm

                    Principe..your post is confusing. You say Toney gets slack and Jones.Hops get slack? So they both get slack or were you trying to say something else?

                    Toney lost to Griffin mainly due to a style matchup, just like vs Roy. Also, see the Nunn fight. Toney has muchos problemos with guys that have good handspeed and slickness.
