Freddie Roach: James Toney most talented, could have been the greatest of all time

[Mr.Fantastic]

Since he got busted for steroids twice, his career should be questioned right? So how could he have been the greatest of all time?

[MindGame]

Hmmm ?

NOPE ......

[AliBombaye]

This is what I like about Roach, even though he has an ATG in his stable he doesn't answer every question with the answer being Manny. He actually tells you the truth from his point of view even if that means he doesn't think his ATG fighter (Manny) is the best.

For example he could have easily said Manny here and no one would be surprised because that's his star fighter and Manny is extremely talented.

Another example is when someone asked him who would win Manny or Duran and he picked Duran.

Compare that to a certain other gym where the answer is the same from the mouths of the gym cleaners to the fighters who train there and from the trainers.

The Michael Nunn fight was amazing

I agree with Freddie completely. Prime James Toney was an ATG. One of the most fun, talented fighters you could ver see, and he had the mentality to back it up.

Prime mw toney would make golovkin retire and quit boxing, possibly even contemplate suicide by round 8.

Tony is the most over rated boxer of all time. All of these "slick" steroid frauds like Roy Jones and Toney are only as good as their record shows.

Imagine what Golovkin or Kovalev would do to Roy and Toney. Benn and Eubank would have crushed them too.

No roy jones was much more talented

[bojangles1987]

Jones was clearly more talented. Toney was more skilled.

A prime Roy Jones would probably beat both guys on the same night. James Toney would beat both in tough fights. The man was a middle weight who beat heavyweights for God's sakes!
