James Toney who was pfp top 3 at the time fought 7 times in 1993 acquiring 4 stoppages and 3 UD. In today's boxing we are lucky if the elite guys fight once a year. James Toney at 160-168 was a problem

James Toney is such an awesome fighter. He can move around the rings but doesnt run. He can stay in the pocket and not get hit. Him and Duran are rhe most natural gifted and talented fighters

James Toney was the second best if not the best fighter in the 1990s just behind Roy Jones. He defeated guys like Nunn, Reggie Johnson, McCallum and Barkley. He is imo one of the most under appreciated fighters.

@creoleDJ 27 күн бұрын

@@grammysworld5449 yeah, he had to uphold the banner for Ann Arbor/Detroit and avenge Hearns’ loss to Barkley. Toney in that Jones fight was a complete mess. Remember, he struggled with his weight even before the Jones fight and actually wanted to go up in weight as it is; but his manager talked him into fighting Jones for the big payday. Toney was at 215, had to lose almost 40 pounds in a 1-month timeframe to make weight for Jones (he BARELY made it at that!) and that has always been a thorn in his ass, and the one fight he regrets. For his part, Jones - despite whooping Toney - even gives him props for his skills. He makes sure to throw in the “when he’s in shape..” bit in, though! (If Toney is in shape tonight, he should beat John Ruiz) 🤣🤣

I've only been a boxing fan for 5 years, but this is the most impressive boxing performance I've ever seen. I have it alongside Ali vs Williams and Anderson Silva vs Forrest Griffin as the most transcendent fight perfomances I've ever seen. James Toney is my favourite fighter stylistically, and this is, IMO, his magnum opus.
