      Geoff, I don't know about the rest but he clearly beat Reginald Johnson.
      Don't go there.

        I haven't seen it since it happened, it was his first fight on UK TV, and at the time I thought the KD swung it for Reginaldo.

          Reginaldo - how good was he?

              i had peter winning this buy 9th round tko and since that dint happen, i can only say that TONEY cannot be destroyed maybe beat (not in this fight) maybe not, Toney has boxing down to a T and he did just that the decsions was what it READS a decsions and the judges DECIDED that!

                True. I would have made more of a case for Toney if he would have won the last round but i thought Peters won the last round and the round was basicly up in the air, Peters was just more busy then Toney in the last round.

                  JAMES TONEY STARTED AT 159 POUNDS AND IS NOW FIGHTING 257 POUND PEOPLE. Please tell me someone else who can do this.
                  Right on , Toney to me is this era's Sam Langford a small man who has the chin and skills to fight men double his size. This fight only makes him look better in my eyes.
