roy jones was freakin untouchable from the early 90's to 2004. People hate on him so bad. Every body that comments on his videos must not have watched boxing b4 youtube existed. def top 25 fighter of all time, f what you heard.
why doesnt toney ever talk about this fight with jones? he always talking about how he would beat tyson and that he the best and he never been outboxed well goin by what im sein here he was well outclassed
Cant lie..at 150 I know Floyd can beat Sergio and hes gonna easily beat Cotto at 154..but Roy vs Toney is a level Floyd wont/shouldnt attempt to beat. Roy killin his legacy with these bs money grubbin fights but still as of now..Floyd aint on his level of greatness.
I give props to Toney for not getting knocked out by a Jones in his prime. Nobody beats Toney's head and shoulder rolls. Speed won this fight. If not for Jones' speed he would have been tactically out boxed. This fight shows you can't always win a fight on skill alone; especially when your opponent is lightning fast.
I think roy should watch this again and then ... retire. He was truly great, now it's time to hang them. The same goes for Toney of course, but at least he's not getting ko'ed all the time nowadays
wow its funny seeing james toney not 300lbs. Roy was a beast and I'm a huge tyson fan but roy could have beaten tyson in tysons later years everybody did remember after holyfield destroyed tyson unbeaten comeback he never tried hard to fight again roy would have danced and pissed tyson off then tyson would have thrown jones out of the ring being dqd haha
yeah he definitely took Toney out of his element. Plus Toney was kinda going through some shit so he wasnt mentally or physically ready for this fight. I think if this fight was a year earlier he would have beat Jones.
I notice that Jones always started the exchanges by making Toney come to him, it's the easiest way to deal with a counterpuncher. I'm not hating on him, it's exactly what he needed to do to dissolve Toney's technique.
@laamchops so 1 out of a million roy couldnt beat tyson? tyson was a monster yes but he was still human, the main reason you look up to tyson more is because he has more 'fame' roy jones is definatly under-rated.
@JigabooCummin4U yeah but only for a short time, roy went back to light heavyweight. plus he was smaller than most heavyweights at 193 lbs. yeah i dont think he couldve beaten tyson
@laamchops so what was your point about weight classes then? he still was a heavy weight at one point. tyson was not invincible neither was roy, but i still think roy could beat tyson.
Think so to. To me Jones is by far the best pound for pound boxer ever lived and i think he could only be beaten by heavyweights, in his prime ofc.
But Tyson in his prime was at least one of the top 3 heavyweights ever lived - so i think Tyson would win, but ofc Roy could beat him too, I would say probably 40 % for Roy 60 % for Mike
The most naturally talented boxer that has ever lived, shoudlve retired as heavyweight champion to become an almost mythical fighter, never really fought everyone he couldve to have a better record, but theres no denying he wouldve beaten almost any light middle,middle,super middle,light heavy, in history in his prime.Shame he continues to taint his legacy fighting over 40 and losing to fighters that wouldnt of laid a glove on him 10 years ago.
the commentator says `showboating by jones, he tempts fate``
man when jones was in his prime he cud do anything. when jones showboats thats when you need to prep ur chin to take the shot as best as you can and prep ur mind to not get ktfo cuz ur definately getting hit
@kingkevinjoy Fuck the prime and u idiot.....Tarver....Older spanked Jones....Johnson Older obliterated his fag ass Get over it u fuckwad..He got spanked by older fighters
@djk28161 past his prime you faggot, not everyone peaks and ends at the same time... what fucked rjj up was when he went up in weight to fight ruiz... he was never the same after that... fuck don king and fuck you
@suppaman12 What fucked Jones up is he didn't know when to retire. Right after the Ruiz fight and he's a legend. Now, in spite of how good he was, he's a bit of a joke.
@ZelenoffFanClub nah bullshit... thats not what fucked his career up. It was when he gained all that weight to try and fight ruiz and tyson... he couldnt retire cause tarver was still a great challenge. had he retired, he wouldve looked somewhat like a punk, which he wasnt at all.... he never dodged tarver, he was just out to catch bigger fish, unfortunetly it bit him in the ass. he never was quite the same after Ruiz...
lol today? when they both in their 40's get outta here...jones clowed toney when they were both in shape and in their prime as you can see in this video..0:420:420:42 ALL DAY SON
@kingkevinjoy they were both in their prime years but toney wasnt in his best shape. you dont even know how hard it was for him to make weight for that fight. he rehydrated 18lb over night. also 0:42. he didnt even touch the canvas so it shouldve been misruled. they were both great but roy jones shouldve gave toney a rematch instead of ducking and avoiding him
at 0:42 it doesnt matter if you hit the canvas, if you use the ropes to hold u up it counts as a knock down. if the ropes werent there he wud have hit the canvas, it was 100% correct. if u get dominated like this why the fuck wud u give the guy a rematch
@kingkevinjoy i dont know? why did joe frazier give ali a rematch? why did duran give ray leonard a rematch? why did jake lomatta give ray robinson a rematch? if roy wouldve gave toney a rematch im certain it would been a different fight
@AsianBaskero Let em fight now. James Toney would beat em. Roy can't fight like this anymore. If Toney was in the same shape like the Barkely fight, he would've recked Jones. Jones had quick hands, but could never fight in the pocket.
@MrDiscernment2011 nah itll be pointless now. jones is done. hes getting knocked out by everything now. james toney would dominate if they fought now. roy jones would be so much better if it wasnt for his chin and lack of fundementals
@kingkevinjoy Although Toney didn't go down because of the punch but because Jones jumped on him. And Jones athleticism was unparallelled, but he was a known steroid user.
@KravaLLT James Toney was weight drained in most of his fights at SMW and especially his most significant at MW against Nunn... people usually like to use this excuse for him, but they don;t understand that he was like this for most of his fights and fought through it -- so he loss at his best. The guy naturally weighed like 200+ in high school when he played football. So being a MW/SMW was always hard for him, even though its where his best victories came from.
Agree w/ @Lilt08 and @UnieUeCrosS - Roy's speed, athleticism and unorthodox style were far too much for really anyone to deal with in his prime. I think, unfortunately, Roy didn't have the pure boxing skills to allow him to age gracefully. So, once his speed and athleticism were diminished, he started getting embarrassed by everybody. Never seen anything like Roy when he was young though.
@albooga SAYING ROY HAS NO BOXING SKILL IS REALLY STUPID EVERY ONE LIKES TO SAY YEA HE WAS JUST REALLY ATHLETIC BUT IF YOU CANT SEE THE SKILL IN JONES BOXING THEN YOU DONT KNOW ABOUT BOXING
@tonyteb If you weren't such a d-rider and looking to start an online argument with inflammatory remarks, you would have noticed that I did not say Roy had 'no boxing skill.' I said that he didn't have pure boxing skills. It is evident by the fact that he started getting knocked out by the likes of the Magic Man and Glen Johnson. I am a big fan of Roy.
@tonyteb I don't mean to say that he lacks skills. Maybe pure is the wrong word. My point is, once he lost a bit of his athleticism, he wasn't able to fall back on his boxing skills. Bernard Hopkins is the perfect foil to what I'm saying. Bernard never had the physical gifts of Roy. Bernard is a supremely technical boxer. Which allowed him to remain fairly dominant past his prime. While Roy, had a number of bad looking fights.
@albooga roy made a bad decision mayby the worst in boxing history he should have stayed at heavy weight or just left it alone he is the best fighter i ever seen people think im crazy but go and really watch his career dvds he was something special b hop didnt do shit his whole career until he fought tito thats the whole reason he is were he is at
@tonyteb Roy might be the best the I ever seen as well in my lifetime. Maybe he should have stayed at heavyweight, maybe he just got old. Roy was head and shoulders against everyone that he fought, it was ridiculous. But, as you know, that's part of the problem with his legacy. He didn't have those legendary fights like the other greats had. Roy as an unbelievable champ when he reigned though.
Toney was weight drained for the fight having to lose 16-17 lbs by dehydration in less than 24 hours , Did Jones ever give him a rematch ? (and don't use the Griffin excuse because when given enough time to prepare (warm) (unlike in their rematch) Montell gave Roy as much trouble as he gave to Toney) How many prime in shape fairly skilled (or above) opponents has Jones ever fought ?
All Roy Jones haters are haters because der favorite boxer will never be as skilled, as talented, and as FAST as he was!!! Dey were so mad dat he DOMINATED competition like he did dat dey wanted 2 c him lose and dat didnt happened til he was weight drained!!! James Toney is an all time great no doubt, but lets b honest, jones toney on his best night couldnt beat a prime roy jones jr!!! He could beat almost anybody else n der prime but Roy Jones!!!
@LilT08 roy jones is faster but not more skilled. roy's athleticism won him these fights. james toney is far more skilled. look who has had the longer career. once roy's speed went, he had no skill to fall back on so he started getting knocked out. i agree with you that a prime roy jones is very hard to beat and i don't see james toney beating him in his prime. although i heard that toney was weight drained for this fight. saying that, what james has achieved is remarkable.
Roy just made "Lights Out" look bad man, this entire fight was just a wtf. Roy is better to me, but he just completely made james look like a boy! especially from 3:36-3:39 smh. beautiful. He simply outclassed him. I hate when people say toney is a better fighter. He is not better than Roy Jones Jr.
@UniqUeCrosS basically... styles make fights, and James is an old-school boxer, he stands in the pocket whereas Roy was a slick unconventional guy who was too quick, in awesome condition and too good for James.... James is still one of the best technician you'll ever see, but he always tended to fade late on and never through enough punches... if James had been better conditioned he might have been considered one of the great P4P fighters.
what the fuck are you dickheads talking about,jones didnt touch him with anything other than his left glove for the knockdown.he suckered him in and caught him,end of.i cannot believe how so many people hate jones.the man was obviously the fastest and most accurate puncher ever.not to mention,he didnt take 2 good punches in a row untill he faught tarver at 35.your talking hopkins,toney,pazienza,griffin,malinga,ect.. hardly landing a glove on him,let alone having him in any kind of trouble
Thing is, all arguments aside,, Toney would have lost to RJJ on the best night of his life. Almost anyone would. RJJ is a monster athletically.
HOWEVER. That knockdown was totally bullshit. The Punch did nothing, it was Jones fucking charging into james after the punch had landed that knocked over toney. It was bodyweight vs bodyweight not fist vs chin.
Man toney is one of the most skilled boxers of the modern era yet he is getting completely outclassed by roy jones! Jones truly was a unique physical specimen. I think he was the most athletically gifted boxer ever. Nobody ever displayed the same type of athletic skills as jones.
@boxingsthebest1 Runing threw greats? good one. Jones ducked everybody from the second half of his career and Toney kept knocking out everybody and challenging the best. Nuff said Toney>Hopkins>..........Jones
@boxingsthebest1 So what? Styles make fights who cares if Toney couldnt finish him, he beat him up that's for sure. + Hopkins was before his prime when Jones fought him, McCallum was fat and washed up at that time, Jones never whooped Tarver, 1st fight Tarver got robbed and in the 2nd he put Jones to sleep, Ruiz - The easiest champion out of 3 Lennox Lewis and Chris Byrd, Trinidad was done, Hill was done and Lacy is not even worth to mention... Toney allways challenged the best
@KravaLLT .dude stop being such a hater.V.Hill a prime James Toney ..beat Tarvers ass after coming down to heavyweight..and if your saying ruiz was not good then.;;how come all the super middle weights and light heavys go up to heavyweight and beat him..Ruiz was beating top10 heavys.Jameel Mccline.andrew Golota .Fres Oquendo Hasim Rahman.Kirk Johnson Evander Holyfield.
@boxingsthebest1 Toney fought prime McCallum who is ranked in all time middleweight lists. Jones fought him when he was done. Toney fought Barkley who just KO'd the great Tommy Hearns. Toney fought Holyfield and Ruiz just because everybody else were scared to fight him. Jones fought Ruiz just because knew that he'd get his ass put to sleep by Lennox Lewis or Chris Byrd. Jones promoted himself more tho and that helped him a lot, many people dont know how GREAT Toney was
@boxingsthebest1 Since Jones decisioned dehydraded Toney for the second half of his career he fought nobodys that no one gave a shit about, started rapping and getting KTFO eventually meanwhile Toney allways fought the best and beat the best. Toney is already ranked at all time middleweight, super middleweight, light heavyweight and cruiserweight lists because of his incredible science to school anybody
no music? there's no music? am i hearing jim lampley? do i hear larry merchant? can the whole video be without music? YES, YES, YES, The REAL video with no music...thank you. I'd save it to my favorites, but every time that happens the video gets copy righted.
Would love to see jones....puss boy fight James today..... Worse than johnson or tarver......Fuck u Jonrs fans Prime nothin Toney's just as old Fuck Jones and all his pussy followers
Lmao, no point arguing with retards like that man. What point is there in James and Roy fighting now, when they both fought in their respective primes, and Jones totally outclassed Toney.
Even though Roy won this fight, yous till can't take ANYTHING away from Toney. Toney is an ALL TIME GREAT no doubt. Screw what Boxrec has to say about him.
@KravaLLT Toney would have destroyed Benn and Eubank, and those are some of my favorite boxers. He would have taken apart Jackson, too. He beat Mike McCallum let's not forget. And Michael Nunn.
watch the highlights again man jones beat the shit out of toney....yes toney didnt look his best condition wise but the outcome would have been similar even if he was
Jones was acting like a fuckin idiot often in the fight,raising his hand after round 2 or 3 like that, shhmeh.He fought for 3 rounds,great offense through out but also ran and held his way to victory much of the rest of the fight.That knock down was a body check that sent Toney back as well.James was certainly weight faded in this fight. No credit taken away from Jones, he did what he had to do to Beat James Toney, and that was not get into a fight, not get into exchanges, get off run and hold.
This fight is really all anyone needs to watch to figure out how Roy would have stacked up against anyone from 160-175 in history. Toney is the whole package, slick, fast, great techincal ability and power......result = complete shutout. If this was 15 rounds I think Roy would have stopped him.
@peterharanas Well, the only advantage here of Jones I see is speed and Toney beat WAY faster boxers than Jones like Tim Littles. And you can see that he's saving energy
@KravaLLT that is the only advantage? Roy is more elusive, uses better footwork, and hits harder. Toney isn't saving energy, he's gassed from following and having to change gears to quickly and often. Toney lost 2x to Montell Griffin, if you check youtube you can see what Roy did to him, a draw with McCallum who Roy carried for 12 shut out rounds out of respect. 1993-2000 Roy was just light years beyond his competition, which included great boxers like James Toney.
@peterharanas Toney lost twice to Griffin? OMG dogg go watch the fights again... and dont make a fool of yourself, dont talk about something you dont understand, more power and better footwork than Toney? LOOOL
@KravaLLT I watched both fights, I had Toney winning both - but he wasnt nearly as dominant as Roy looked, watch the Reggie Johnson fights v both, watch the McCallum fights v both. Who hits harded? Speed generates power, and footwork sets it up. Roy KOd Griffin and dropped both Johnson and McCallum. Toney's power couldn't. I have Toney right up there in top 5-8 of that era, but there is a big gap between Roy and everyone else.
@peterharanas If Jones fought McCallum at middleweight when Toney fought him, he would go to school like a little boy... It's bullshit to think that McCallum at light heavyweight, old and fat was as nearly as great as in his prime when Toney fought him... After fighting Toney, jones fought bums that no one gave a shit about, started rapping and doing shit which had nothing to do with boxing and then beaten like shit... meanwhile Toney keeps doing his thing and will punish Lebedev who KO'd roy
@KravaLLT are you seriously trying to compare the focus and training of Roy to Jame Toney? McCallum was great, but he didn't win one second of one round against Roy, and that was only like 4 years later. Bums? You mean like Reggie Johnson? Virgil Hill? Montell Griffin? Merique Sosa? All guys that Toney also fought. Toney's still around, but he's basically showing up weighing 230 and just cashing in on his name.
@peterharanas Toney will fight cruiserweight now where he was king and he'll be king again. + Toney fought those guys in their prime and Jones just played with old men who were looking for a paycheck... and there's no reason to think that Jones is 1 step higher than Toney, he's not
@KravaLLT They all fought within about a 4 year span - come on. I'm a huge Toney fan, I hope he gets down to 190-185 and stays there for a couple years, and has a few more fights. Here is one easy reason to think Roy is a step higher.....he beat Toney....easy, shut him out 12-0. Toney is 5'10, at that point he was like 27, if he couldn't get into shape enough to even make it competitive than that is part of sports too.

@peterharanas Toney was dehydraded and I dont count it. At least Toney fought anybody anywhere anytime unlike Roy did, picked to fight Ruiz for a heavyweight title when Ruiz didnt called him out, but Lennox Lewis and Chris Byrd called him out... his record is a joke if you sit down and watch
@KravaLLT fought anyone..over 190 pounds, because he couldn't committ himself enough to train hard to get down to 175 or 168. Roy stopped Virgil Hill with a body shot, shut out James Toney Bernard Hopkins, and shut out everyone else he fought - he lapped the competition, all you need is a pair of eyes. There wasn't anyone out there south of the heavyweight divison that was even in the ballpark. How crazy is it that a super middleweight gets shit for not fighting a 265 heavyweight champion?
@KravaLLT John Ruiz? The important part about that one was that it was the first time a former middleweight won a heavyweight title. Nobody points to Ruiz as a boxer as one of Roy's best wins. You're reaching pretty bad here. Roy beat Hopkins, who ended up having one of the great runs at 160 ever, he is the gold standard for 168 in history, then took out Virgil Hill (in stunning fashion) who had been the top 175 pounder for most of the 90s. He dominated everyone during his prime, hands down
@peterharanas Well, I'm still thinking that he's not great... only pussys reach the top and then cherry pick their way to earn money, I'm a fight fan and I want to see the best fights possible and I didnt watch Jones fight since he decisioned dehydraded Toney
@KravaLLT if you didn't watch after this one, than what are you basing any of this off? What cherry picking? This is always a weird argument, who did he avoid? Pointing to some guy in Germany who no one actually thought had a sliver of a chance of winning, is a huge stretch in pointing to competition. Eventually, he proved to just be too far past anyone else - even fighters who everyone later realized were very good, just made to look ordinary/sub par by RJJ.
nse , gayweahter i have respect he did good in middle weight , roy jones is a fagget who ran became famous in heavyweight when all the good ones werent there
roy jones was freakin untouchable from the early 90's to 2004. People hate on him so bad. Every body that comments on his videos must not have watched boxing b4 youtube existed. def top 25 fighter of all time, f what you heard.

@kingkevinjoy Jones outscored Toney, but the knockdown shouldn't have been scored as such since Jones jumped on Toney.
TimesEyez 6 days ago
@kingkevinjoy they were both in their prime years but toney wasnt in his best shape. you dont even know how hard it was for him to make weight for that fight. he rehydrated 18lb over night. also 0:42. he didnt even touch the canvas so it shouldve been misruled. they were both great but roy jones shouldve gave toney a rematch instead of ducking and avoiding him
AsianBaskero 3 days ago
@AsianBaskero
at 0:42 it doesnt matter if you hit the canvas, if you use the ropes to hold u up it counts as a knock down. if the ropes werent there he wud have hit the canvas, it was 100% correct. if u get dominated like this why the fuck wud u give the guy a rematch

@kingkevinjoy i dont know? why did joe frazier give ali a rematch? why did duran give ray leonard a rematch? why did jake lomatta give ray robinson a rematch? if roy wouldve gave toney a rematch im certain it would been a different fight
AsianBaskero 2 days ago
@AsianBaskero Let em fight now. James Toney would beat em. Roy can't fight like this anymore. If Toney was in the same shape like the Barkely fight, he would've recked Jones. Jones had quick hands, but could never fight in the pocket.
MrDiscernment2011 2 days ago
@MrDiscernment2011 nah itll be pointless now. jones is done. hes getting knocked out by everything now. james toney would dominate if they fought now. roy jones would be so much better if it wasnt for his chin and lack of fundementals

@kingkevinjoy Although Toney didn't go down because of the punch but because Jones jumped on him. And Jones athleticism was unparallelled, but he was a known steroid user.

@KravaLLT James Toney was weight drained in most of his fights at SMW and especially his most significant at MW against Nunn... people usually like to use this excuse for him, but they don;t understand that he was like this for most of his fights and fought through it -- so he loss at his best. The guy naturally weighed like 200+ in high school when he played football. So being a MW/SMW was always hard for him, even though its where his best victories came from.

Agree w/ @Lilt08 and @UnieUeCrosS - Roy's speed, athleticism and unorthodox style were far too much for really anyone to deal with in his prime. I think, unfortunately, Roy didn't have the pure boxing skills to allow him to age gracefully. So, once his speed and athleticism were diminished, he started getting embarrassed by everybody. Never seen anything like Roy when he was young though.

@albooga SAYING ROY HAS NO BOXING SKILL IS REALLY STUPID EVERY ONE LIKES TO SAY YEA HE WAS JUST REALLY ATHLETIC BUT IF YOU CANT SEE THE SKILL IN JONES BOXING THEN YOU DONT KNOW ABOUT BOXING
tonyteb 3 months ago
@tonyteb If you weren't such a d-rider and looking to start an online argument with inflammatory remarks, you would have noticed that I did not say Roy had 'no boxing skill.' I said that he didn't have pure boxing skills. It is evident by the fact that he started getting knocked out by the likes of the Magic Man and Glen Johnson. I am a big fan of Roy.
albooga 3 months ago
@albooga no fight here but roy has pure boxing skill and there were different reasons he faded like that and you know it
tonyteb 3 months ago
@tonyteb I don't mean to say that he lacks skills. Maybe pure is the wrong word. My point is, once he lost a bit of his athleticism, he wasn't able to fall back on his boxing skills. Bernard Hopkins is the perfect foil to what I'm saying. Bernard never had the physical gifts of Roy. Bernard is a supremely technical boxer. Which allowed him to remain fairly dominant past his prime. While Roy, had a number of bad looking fights.
albooga 3 months ago
@albooga roy made a bad decision mayby the worst in boxing history he should have stayed at heavy weight or just left it alone he is the best fighter i ever seen people think im crazy but go and really watch his career dvds he was something special b hop didnt do shit his whole career until he fought tito thats the whole reason he is were he is at
tonyteb 3 months ago
@tonyteb Roy might be the best the I ever seen as well in my lifetime. Maybe he should have stayed at heavyweight, maybe he just got old. Roy was head and shoulders against everyone that he fought, it was ridiculous. But, as you know, that's part of the problem with his legacy. He didn't have those legendary fights like the other greats had. Roy as an unbelievable champ when he reigned though.

Toney was weight drained for the fight having to lose 16-17 lbs by dehydration in less than 24 hours , Did Jones ever give him a rematch ? (and don't use the Griffin excuse because when given enough time to prepare (warm) (unlike in their rematch) Montell gave Roy as much trouble as he gave to Toney) How many prime in shape fairly skilled (or above) opponents has Jones ever fought ?

Dey were so mad dat he DOMINATED competition like he did dat dey wanted 2 c him lose and dat didnt happened til he was weight drained!!! James Toney is an all time great no doubt, but lets b honest, jones toney on his best night couldnt beat a prime roy jones jr!!! He could beat almost anybody else n der prime but Roy Jones!!!
LilT08 3 months ago
@LilT08 roy jones is faster but not more skilled. roy's athleticism won him these fights. james toney is far more skilled. look who has had the longer career. once roy's speed went, he had no skill to fall back on so he started getting knocked out. i agree with you that a prime roy jones is very hard to beat and i don't see james toney beating him in his prime. although i heard that toney was weight drained for this fight. saying that, what james has achieved is remarkable.

UniqUeCrosS 4 months ago in playlist UniqUeCrosS's favorites
@UniqUeCrosS basically... styles make fights, and James is an old-school boxer, he stands in the pocket whereas Roy was a slick unconventional guy who was too quick, in awesome condition and too good for James.... James is still one of the best technician you'll ever see, but he always tended to fade late on and never through enough punches... if James had been better conditioned he might have been considered one of the great P4P fighters.

HOWEVER. That knockdown was totally bullshit. The Punch did nothing, it was Jones fucking charging into james after the punch had landed that knocked over toney. It was bodyweight vs bodyweight not fist vs chin.

KIMBOSLICE66666 4 months ago
@boxingsthebest1 Toney fought prime McCallum who is ranked in all time middleweight lists. Jones fought him when he was done. Toney fought Barkley who just KO'd the great Tommy Hearns. Toney fought Holyfield and Ruiz just because everybody else were scared to fight him. Jones fought Ruiz just because knew that he'd get his ass put to sleep by Lennox Lewis or Chris Byrd. Jones promoted himself more tho and that helped him a lot, many people dont know how GREAT Toney was

@boxingsthebest1 Since Jones decisioned dehydraded Toney for the second half of his career he fought nobodys that no one gave a shit about, started rapping and getting KTFO eventually meanwhile Toney allways fought the best and beat the best.

Jones was acting like a fuckin idiot often in the fight,raising his hand after round 2 or 3 like that, shhmeh.He fought for 3 rounds,great offense through out but also ran and held his way to victory much of the rest of the fight.That knock down was a body check that sent Toney back as well.James was certainly weight faded in this fight. No credit taken away from Jones, he did what he had to do to Beat James Toney, and that was not get into a fight, not get into exchanges, get off run and hold.

KravaLLT 5 months ago
@KravaLLT that is the only advantage? Roy is more elusive, uses better footwork, and hits harder. Toney isn't saving energy, he's gassed from following and having to change gears to quickly and often. Toney lost 2x to Montell Griffin, if you check youtube you can see what Roy did to him, a draw with McCallum who Roy carried for 12 shut out rounds out of respect. 1993-2000 Roy was just light years beyond his competition, which included great boxers like James Toney.

KravaLLT 5 months ago
@KravaLLT I watched both fights, I had Toney winning both - but he wasnt nearly as dominant as Roy looked, watch the Reggie Johnson fights v both, watch the McCallum fights v both. Who hits harded? Speed generates power, and footwork sets it up. Roy KOd Griffin and dropped both Johnson and McCallum. Toney's power couldn't. I have Toney right up there in top 5-8 of that era, but there is a big gap between Roy and everyone else.
peterharanas 5 months ago
@peterharanas If Jones fought McCallum at middleweight when Toney fought him, he would go to school like a little boy... It's bullshit to think that McCallum at light heavyweight, old and fat was as nearly as great as in his prime when Toney fought him... After fighting Toney, jones fought bums that no one gave a shit about, started rapping and doing shit which had nothing to do with boxing and then beaten like shit... meanwhile Toney keeps doing his thing and will punish Lebedev who KO'd roy
KravaLLT 5 months ago
@KravaLLT are you seriously trying to compare the focus and training of Roy to Jame Toney? McCallum was great, but he didn't win one second of one round against Roy, and that was only like 4 years later. Bums? You mean like Reggie Johnson? Virgil Hill? Montell Griffin? Merique Sosa? All guys that Toney also fought. Toney's still around, but he's basically showing up weighing 230 and just cashing in on his name.

@peterharanas Toney will fight cruiserweight now where he was king and he'll be king again. + Toney fought those guys in their prime and Jones just played with old men who were looking for a paycheck... and there's no reason to think that Jones is 1 step higher than Toney, he's not

@KravaLLT They all fought within about a 4 year span - come on. I'm a huge Toney fan, I hope he gets down to 190-185 and stays there for a couple years, and has a few more fights. Here is one easy reason to think Roy is a step higher.....he beat Toney....easy, shut him out 12-0. Toney is 5'10, at that point he was like 27, if he couldn't get into shape enough to even make it competitive than that is part of sports too.

@peterharanas Toney was dehydraded and I dont count it. At least Toney fought anybody anywhere anytime unlike Roy did, picked to fight Ruiz for a heavyweight title when Ruiz didnt called him out, but Lennox Lewis and Chris Byrd called him out... his record is a joke if you sit down and watch
KravaLLT 5 months ago
@KravaLLT fought anyone..over 190 pounds, because he couldn't committ himself enough to train hard to get down to 175 or 168. Roy stopped Virgil Hill with a body shot, shut out James Toney Bernard Hopkins, and shut out everyone else he fought - he lapped the competition, all you need is a pair of eyes. There wasn't anyone out there south of the heavyweight divison that was even in the ballpark. How crazy is it that a super middleweight gets shit for not fighting a 265 heavyweight champion?

@KravaLLT John Ruiz? The important part about that one was that it was the first time a former middleweight won a heavyweight title. Nobody points to Ruiz as a boxer as one of Roy's best wins. You're reaching pretty bad here. Roy beat Hopkins, who ended up having one of the great runs at 160 ever, he is the gold standard for 168 in history, then took out Virgil Hill (in stunning fashion) who had been the top 175 pounder for most of the 90s. He dominated everyone during his prime, hands down
peterharanas 5 months ago
@peterharanas Well, I'm still thinking that he's not great... only pussys reach the top and then cherry pick their way to earn money, I'm a fight fan and I want to see the best fights possible and I didnt watch Jones fight since he decisioned dehydraded Toney
KravaLLT 5 months ago
@KravaLLT if you didn't watch after this one, than what are you basing any of this off? What cherry picking? This is always a weird argument, who did he avoid? Pointing to some guy in Germany who no one actually thought had a sliver of a chance of winning, is a huge stretch in pointing to competition. Eventually, he proved to just be too far past anyone else - even fighters who everyone later realized were very good, just made to look ordinary/sub par by RJJ.
