Comments Thread For: James Toney: In My Prime, Golovkin Would Take a Nap!

[junior gong]

That's true to an extent but I feel like the whole point of these fantasy matchups is to pit them against each other at their very best. Then it comes down to styles basically. Besides, given the frenzy from hardcore fans, I suspect Toney would be highly motivated for this one. At his best, and based on what we know at the moment, he was leagues ahead of GGG.

No we dont know that, you just assume it.

GGG would not KO toney and he damn sure wouldnt outbox him i take JT by late stoppage

[FashionTV]

this guy is amazing....

he was leagues ahead of GGG.

what? it's not obvious. subjective opinion. toney is a boxing legend. right? but we compare two 160lbs.-fighters and their careers. we are interested in their problems. toney had problems in the merqui sosa fight. he had problems in the reggie johnson fight. he had problems in the dave tiberi fight. toney was knocked down in the 2nd round in the reggie johnson fight. taking punches, SDs, knockdown. he couldn't knock larry(10-10)prather out . he couldn't knock vinson(11-6)durham out. and now he says golovkin would take a nap? ok...... golovkin has never had problems. true. he has never been in knockdown. true. how can you say that 160lbs. version of toney was bigger than ggg? how can you say that he was leagues ahead of GGG. are you mad? it's ridiculous. we don't even know full golovkin's potential. mb golovkin is much bigger than toney. toney's words are meaningless..

What you've adopted is the cheat's mentality of "everybody's doing it" or "everybody's dirty" so as to excuse those who were actually doing it.



How would Usain Bolt be perceived if he failed a drugs test today? would people still rate his past performances where he got past the tests and set world records? No they wouldn't, they would be disregarded as chemically enhanced and he would be disgraced. They lose the benefit of the doubt. We've seen what changes steroids can make in the boxing ring, it's not a game, people get badly hurt.

Great example.

Absolutely no idea why people are creating fantasy fights with known steroid users involved, like really? One of the dumbest things ever.

We're also interested in their successes. Says a lot about their ceiling. Tell me, what are GGG's?

[FashionTV]

tell what? ) golovkin's career is not over yet.

So what are his successes at this point? Some of the top names he conquered, perhaps.

[The Big Dunn]

I would take prime toney over GGG because I think toney would take it seriously and come in shape and prepared.
