James Toney vs Anthony Joshua?

[aboutfkntime]

Hilarious. Hilarious!!!

People actually think, that James Toney, can beat Anthony Joshua???

James Toney couldn't even beat Sam Peter or Hasim Rahman

you have no idea if AJ could beat those guys

they both beat the bobble-head doll that fought Ruiz

[TheMyspaceDayz]

So utilizing movement to win a decision is cowardice? Is there a rule that says you have to stand and trade no matter what? Even if it puts you at a disadvantage? Even if your opponent has faster hands in exchanges? Was he supposed to repeat the mistake he made in the first fight just so critics wouldn't call him a coward?

Remember BKB?

It was specifically designed to eliminate "cowardice" and it didn't last long, kinda like Andy Ruiz' title reign because no one is obligated to play rock 'em, sock 'em robots with him just because he can't cope with anything else.

If a 30-1 underdog takes you out then you’re supposed to blow him out in the rematch like Lennox did with Rahman. Failure to do so is acknowledging you’re on that underdogs level. AJ’s stock dropped dramatically while Lennox proved to everyone that the underdog was a lucky bum.

I just can't see how it could even be a close fight. Even if Joshua was able to figure out Toney's defense, he couldn't hurt him. Toney would out work him, wear him down on the inside and stop him easily IMO.

Would be a beatdown like Toney/Barkley

Yeah....How's the weather in that fantasy world you live in?

You can't see any way it would be close? You are aware that Toney couldn't beat Peter or Rahman at Heavyweight right?

Toney beats him up on the inside like Barkley Hilarious.

[Arj Guy]

he was a MUCH better fighter

are you really unaware of that fact ?

A prime Toney at middleweight or super middleweight sure. But we’re talking about the older obese heavyweight version of Toney dumbass. The version that drew with a past it Rahman and lost to Sam Peter. Beating John Ruiz and a shot Holyfield doesn’t mean you can compete with a super heavyweight like AJ. This is a mismatch

Toney beats him up on the inside like Barkley Hilarious.

You're taking this really ****ing personally.


Peter and Rahman likely crack Joshua's glass too. Unless we're going to pretend Andy Ruiz is some top 5 ATG?


Also, a draw and then a TKO3 win against Rahmen that they changed after the fact because his corner quit on him, you're using that against him?

Erm yeah, no I'm not. This is a boxing discussion forum and I am laughing at your hilarious nonsense fantasies.

Peter and Rahman are garbage. Neither beat AJ.

Yes I am. Toney's Heavyweight venture was piss poor. He did nothing of any note there.

The idea of him not only beating but stopping an elite HW is laughable and not based on reality.

Who's the elite heavyweight you're referring to? Surely not Anthony Joshua.

Why didn’t Lennox blow McCall out in the rematch?

[IronDanHamza]

Who's the elite heavyweight you're referring to? Surely not Anthony Joshua.

Oh yeah not Joshua

Are you implying Joshua isn't an elite Heavyweight today? A man that holds 3 of the 4 Heavyweight Titles?

Toney has no chance against Joshua. Zero. He most certainly doesn't dominate him as Toney didn't dominate any top level fighters

[SN!PER]

Depends which Rahman and Peter we're talking about.

If we're talking about a prime Rahman, the one whose right hand sent Lennox Lewis rolling on the canvas like a drunkard?

Prime Peter, strong as a mule, known for hard hooks to the side and back of the head that wobbled and hurt Wladimir Klitschko in their 1st fight?

AJ wouldn't last six rounds.

Hell, there are plenty of guys from that era who were never even champions who I'd pick over AJ.

David Tua would send him into another dimension with that left hook.
