Comments Thread For: Roy Jones: James Toney Was The Man - But I Annihilated Him!

[sportsplato]

How many of you remember Roy played in a USBA basketball game before a fight. Then partied with Redman and Method Man for his ring intro. And KTFO the dude with both hands behind his back. Sll in the same day. Wasn't a big fan but he could fight.

Ok let's run this down. He beat Hopkins early. Mike mcallum is not elite, Ruiz is fat trash and you got Toney who is also not an HOF as of yet. Wow!

McCallum WAS elite. The "Body Snatcher" was one feared commodity. HIs resume is better than so many more today that get to play Diva. Anyone dissing him or RJJ is no fan of boxing and most likely a child.

ANYONE on this f***ing forum that dares talk down the achievements of Roy Jones Jnr does not know a mother***ing thing about boxing. Honestly, we all know the man went way past his use by date but if you are a young member of the forum go YouTube his fights from 2003 and back. He was simply one of the best if not the best I ever saw. I smh way too often reading comments on here but don't any of you you dare talk down this man and what he did in boxing.

This...👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Small mistake.. thought it was 47? but didnt win a world title until 54

nah man he was a pro at 15. He was 140. Fought Miguel Vazquez etc

[killakali]

haha. Yeah these kids on here are gullible and very uneducated about the sport.

Yeah man Toney is one of the best of the 90s

Yes, he beat "prime" Toney and Hopkins, no question whatsoever of getting into HOF.

My problem with Roy is while he did beat them, he didn't exactly push them off the cliff; he never had either of them seriously shook (the Toney KD was caused by Toney clowning off) and was content to enforce the silent game of "if you don't try to hurt me i won't either".

Since we know he used PEDS, how much of it helped him elaborate his safety-first style and protect his jaw?
One knew he was juiced since he couldn't help mouthing off and call himself "Mr Invincible".

Right into his prime people were correctly calling him out for not fighting the best available opposition.

Hopkins, Mike mcallum, virgil hill, and Toney is more than enough. Add to that starting of as a jr middleweight and beating John Ruiz.

2 of them are great fighters at or near their prime.

And that could very easily be written as Mosley, Cotto, Canelo and Pacquiao .

Roy is great and so was Floyd, anything more than paying homage for two truly ATGs is just fan BS.

I hate to say it, but the whole Balco thing left a few ??? to say the least. Even if it was Roid Jones Jr, his skills were out of this world. Probably the best I've ever seen.

I'm sorry - Mike McCallum not elite? Never knocked out as a pro? The Bodysnatcher before Errol Spence ever came along?

Now, if you want to say that McCallum was well past the sell date when Jones fought him that's fine and fair.

Yeah that was only like 24 years ago and the clown is still fighting
