      Almost as ludicrous as Bozo No No.

        Geoff read up about what I said about Toney 2 months earlier.

          Ask your nextdoor neighbour who Chris Eubank is, if he's in his 30's I'm sure he'll know.

          Ask him who Roy Jones is and he probably won't have a clue, unless he's a die-hard boxing fan.

            Exactly Bozo!!! This thread is indirectly about Eubank & Benn. It's all about Juy Juy as his quest to downgrade Jones to elevate his heroes because they'll never be as popular or have a better resume than Jones. Face it Juy Juy; your favorite fighters were never as good as Jones & won't ever be as popular because they were only solid fighters.

              Yeah, Toney was sure 'weight drained' in his fight with Jones Jr. It's pretty odd how he was in great shape a few months earlier against Williams, but I guess you lose all your stamina in 2 short months, don't you?

              Talking about being weight drained what about Iran Barkley coming down from 178 in his previous bout to fight Toney. How come no one talks about that? Toney was also getting his ass kicked by Nunn then he lands a lucky punch, and now he is this throwback, old school fighter. The fat little **** couldn't even handle little Montell Griffin and had troubles with McAllum who was way past his prime. He lost to HOFER Tiberi and was smacked around by Reggie Johnson.

              He then beat a robotic Jirov and an out of prime, injured Evander Holyfield and the dudes considered a throwback. I'm not convinced.
              He was 222 went he went into camp for Jones - six weeks out. On the night he was 180-something, which is proof he must of lost loads of weight before the weigh-in.

              He had similar weight problems for Tiberi.

              He beat Johnson and Nunn fair and square, stood with a greater fighter than Roy Jones in Mike McCallum for 24 rounds and arguably got the better of him, and that was before he settled in at a steady 168 and raised his level of performance another notch. The Toney that fought Barkley, Thornton, Littles and Williams would of beaten Jones, IMHO.

                I wouldn't be suprised if you were yet another Bozo alt.

                  Actually, no. American's all over the net use Jones to hate on Benn and Eubank.. and it's obvious why. We had something special. Why can't they just accept it and move on?

                    Really, you have no clue. I'm not wasting my time on idiots who didn't follow boxing back then, or American's.
                    Face it man, you are sour graping. That's what losers do.

                      He'd of cut off the ring and cut off his legs, got him on the inside and hurt him, he'd of done a surgeon's job on Jones and taken him out late while possibly trailing on points.
