      I got 'Lights out' by decision lol.

      This type of thing falls somewhere between a circus show and sports entertainment.

        Tyson was so ferocious at one point, that I thought the only reason he lost is because he didn't train hard or didn't have a good trainer.

        But I would see it, even though you wonder what Tysons motives are? If for money, why not?

                Toney would beat the **** out of Tyson. Tyson is looooong gone and Toney at least has been fighting. Mike would gas in a round and quit by the 4th or 5th.

                  Its fcuking sad to see Toney these days. Is all ill say.

                  A great career, and could have been greatest of his era (bar RJJ who he was never going to beat) if he stayed motivated and disciplined.


                  He could have even been a genuine elite force at heavyweight, if he stayed down around 200-205...The guy is a freak and besides Floyd, maybe B-Hop I dont think we are ever gonna see a guy with the same bag of tricks again...

                    I disagree. James Toney was a better fighter than Roy Jones. When they fought, Toney didn't train seriously, he was arrogant, and thought Roy was a joke. You see the rematch never happened. Guess who didn't want it? Toney at his best, KO's Roy don't fool yourself. Roy was overrated and couldn't take a punch, we just didn't know it then. Toney was a true throwback fighter who could've fought in any era, can you say the same about Mr. Jones? No you can't.

                      James would have a punchers chance but its a slim one, especially as he isn't an especially concussive one punch guy...just a good puncher.

                      Dude its the worst possible style match up for James ever. He's always going to have a tough time with guys who have faster hands than him (not many) and especially guys like RJJ with fast feet who give you angles.
                      Yes he didn't prepare properly, and fought like ****, but the result would have been similar even if he was in top form.

                      Its just the worst match up for him i can possibly think of....
