ANd if you think Boxing is about little rabit punches to the Body when you are leaning on another fighter, then you are correct.

    In no way am I trying to bash James Toney. He's a great fighter. He's one of the best fighters on the inside. His uppercuts are fantastic. And if he was in shape last night, who knows. But you can't tell me you would enjoy watching the fight last night again. And to call it a very good fight is reaching.

    It's sad that Heavyweight Boxing has come to this.
    I would watch it again just to see the oldschool moves toney showed in that fight against a bigger, stronger, opponent that has long reach. Hitting from different angles and countering the way toney does is masterful, the science of boxing. Just a different side of it. Also, ive seen everyone of tyson's fight since you assumed I didn't

      I didn't find that fight to be a snoozer. I thought it was a good fight.

          that **** was boring as hell, but what kep me going was how fat Toney looked i was laughing.

          It seemed like he just wanted t lay on the ropes and rest the whole fight.

              Tyson was "Pure Boxer"? What fight exactly are you talking about? I'd say you have a very unique appreciation of the sweet science. And, an even more unique understanding of "boxing".

                  The fight wasn't that bad-- I think for 2 big guys they kept up to a good pace and I saw some good shots landed by both throughout most of the fight-- The only thing that bothers me is how hyped up this bout was-- I was expecting a war but it wasn't even close to that
