vasiliy jirov was'nt nigel bennOriginally posted by elgaringoI've just watched the Toney Jirov fight and going by that Id fear for Benn more than Eubank! You could say Benn hit very hard, and he did!
But Toney was very hard to hit cleanly and even when you did it didnt matter. Even the biggest punching heavies are going to have trouble knocking him out. I think Benn would have give his all but stopped by the ref before the half waay stage
benn had better leverages, better reflexes, guy knew how 2 land punches manComment

eubank was genuinely from the ******, not some fake ass wannabe ****** boy, he lived on the streets as a kid & by the time he was 14 stole designer clothes for a livin (smoked tonnes of ganja from age of 9, early alcoholic etc) he had "mastered the craft" of shopliftin by time he was 14/15Originally posted by Black JesusIm laughing with Toney because im from the ****** and talk like that is nothing new to me, its common place, being able to talk like that and back it up is something that is highly respected in my book. You can make all the observations you want, people respect someone who can run their mouth and back it up. Its boxing, its a game of beating the **** out of your opponent, there is a time for showing class and there is a time for disrespect, at that point, was a time for disrespect.
What..you think people who respect Toney for doing that **** are somehow lower in intelligence/class than possibly you? Get outta here with that ****, different people find different things funny, different people respect different kinds of people. Get off your high horse, it says nothing about anyone who laughs at this ****.
but he started havin mental probs, cravin respect, & decided 2 mould himself in2 an english gentleman ! yeah, he was and is a fake ass wannabe silver spoon pretender

I DOWNLOADED HIS FIGHT WITH CAFARO FROM A BIT ******* SITE EARLIER, IVE ONLY SCANNED THROUGH IT SO FAR BECAUSE IM AT WORK BUT ILL CHECK IT LATER WHEN I GET HOME.....FROM WHAT I SAW, THIS KID MILO GUY LOOKED HE WAS KIND OF ALMOST JOGGING ON THE SPOT DURING THE FIGHT OR TWITCHING/SHAKING SORT OF THING??? LOL I SEE WHAT U MEAN IN YOUR TOP SENTANCE.....Originally posted by JuicyJuiceLol, Kid Milo was a funny-looking fighter because he had a physical disorder where he was a little hyper-active and often couldn't relax in the ring. His appearance looked a little like Marvin Hagler/Tony Thornton/James Toney, but he wasn't naturally big enough to fight at middle or super-middle.
Milo was an awkward fighter, concentrated, didn't have a high punch output but had a big heart and some good body punching. I remember him being robbed on the Frank Tate/Tony Sibson bill in Stafford. Milo beat a 16-year-old Richie Woodhall for the 1985 ABA West Midlands light-middle title before turning pro. He was clearly a useful fighter in that he got a draw with Errol McDonald who was undefeated as an amateur and pro. He stopped Johnny Melfah with a body shot. But against Eubank he was way out of his depth and was toyed with, Eubank had him cut to shreds after four or five rounds but just stood there with his hands down asking the referee to consider stopping it. Benn punched Milo from one side of the ring to the other in the first 30 seconds and almost punched Milo out the ring, again he was out of his depth. I also remember him having an all-out war with some Australian guy on ITV once.
In short, Kid Milo wasn't on James Toney's stratosphere, although he was a decent domestic fighter.Last edited by Super Cruiserweight; 06-23-2006, 07:02 AM.Comment

U could never count Benn out cause the guy throw bombs, u all thought the G man would beat benn down as well and look what happened, with JT against eubank no way would Tony be able to stop eubank the guy had one of the best chins ever in my opinion.Comment
