James Toney vs. Evander Holyfield (Highlights)

[unseen1985]

ya"ll gotta ask yoself, what happened to american heavy weights?

[fightwildlivewild]

"why you walking up on me dogg i don't like you!"

[kypselialani14]

when i watch toney fight i realize 2 things...1st that he is a gr8 boxer and very smart,even tho he looks dump...and 2nd...how gr8 roy was that made him look like an amateur,when both were in their primes...

[destincox]

i love boxing i dont care what ppl say about the whole mma/boxing debate and all that i love both sports and boxing is far from dead. they say no new famous faces commin to boxing have they forgot about sean eklund for example. dicky eklunds son??? boxing is still very much alive.

[Yuspliff]

its amazing how these men can take such powerful shots

[destincox]

@Yuspliff i know i would have been in a coma a lonnnnggg time ago hahaha

[MrBumboclart]

Toney is such an old-school warrior. His style is just like Ezzard Charles and Archie Moore, he never complains out dirty tactics and even when he wins he isn't jumping around and cheering, he calmly walks over to Holyfield's corner and shakes his trainer's hand. Love this guy!!

[Chunklake]

@MrBumboclart

Completely agree man. They talk about B-Hop being an old school fighter, he is, but he isn't as good as JT. IMO, Toney has a better career resume than Hopkins and would have beaten him, had they met up in their middleweight days. Hopkins is always crying/complaining when something doesn't go his way, whereas Toney doesn't and keeps doing his thing. I guess it's true, the mid-west definitely makes the best fighters.

[222022200]

did tony do roids?

[bigc56b]

younger holyfield would have dominated

[HollywoodSheen]

jay nady looks like george bush

[disgrapefruit2bitter]

There are so many sentences on Toney's bottom line.

[jas505]

James Toney? What a dumbass.

[itchygonads]

@jas505 you are an idiot.

[RatedtR]

That's y he got owned trying MMA

[cet0708]

I think Toney, wisely, realized that he was never going to get through Holyfield's iron chin (and Toney wasn't even a massive puncher). I wonder why no one else ever goes to the body of a guy with a jaw like Holyfield?

[sonofaballer96]

@cet0708 They should of fought at cruiserweight or at back in the early 90's when was Holyfield at his best, it would of been better?

[FSMNoodlyAppendage]

Evander's face at 3:14 after the body shot. You can literally see the pain.

[FSMNoodlyAppendage]

It's amazing how much trouble Evander gave Toney. He landed some great shots in the first few rounds on a much younger fresher man. Holyfield was ancient even then. 41 and fighting James Toney. Absurd.

[garethac81]

@FSMNoodlyAppendage

Toney was what, 35 when he fought Holyfield? "Much younger fresher man" is hardly an accurate description, especially when Toney was fighting so far above his prime weight.

And there was nothing "amazing" about how much trouble Holyfield gave Toney, because he hardly troubled him at all. Toney took Holyfield to SCHOOL in this fight...totally outboxed him.

[mrbabysarm28]

LOVED WATCHING EVANDER GET HIS ASS WHOOPED LIKE THIS . NEVER LIKED HIM AS A BOXER MATTER OF FACT FUCK EVANDER HOLYFIELD ..

[mrsexsymbol]

I GOT MILK BABY!

lol fucking epic

[crawford8991]

WHO"S NECKS?! I GOT MILK BABY

[Honigdrohne0221]

Daamn JT owned this reporter bitch LOL

[ZigZagRunner]

if someone has an iron chin, hit them in the body. miguel cotto needs to heed this advice against margarito = D

[LionelWitchieWardrob]

@ZigZagRunner didn't have an iron eye did he?

[ZigZagRunner]

@LionelWitchieWardrob lol, not after pacquiao. he certainly did not. cotto would have won anyway though, he learnt how to clinch.

[LionelWitchieWardrob]

@ZigZagRunner Yeah Cotto fucked him up. Amir Khan is gonna do the same tonight BOOM

[ZigZagRunner]

@LionelWitchieWardrob yeah, gonna be a good fight, lamont took ortiz to a draw. but i think khan is too fast and skilled for him. khan's chin isn't that bad, maidana landed and couldn't knock him out.

[frost310]

God is beyond great.

[Berman2012]

A floyd mayweather heavyweight lol tony got iron chin n skills

[FIGHTFANNERD3]

@Berman2012 pretty much 

[ChrisVanDam]

Holyfield should have headbutted him, isn't that what he does best?

[banofee999]

@ChrisVanDam nope holyfeild has never headbutted an opponent. the times a butt has happend wernet his fault :) . now you know :D

[ChronoTriggerMusic]

@ChrisVanDam He tried a lot of time but Toney had his head up so it was hard to hit him, plus, the ref called him out on hit a couple times too.

[TheLeppus28]

Forget about middleweight. That's the best Toney's fight.

[timmbeatty]

James is the ultimate defender....I would know.

[LionelWitchieWardrob]

@timmbeatty why would you know? have you fought him or what?

[LemOnadsl]

Toney завалил русский богатырь)))

Емельянетнко ещё наведёт шороху в USA)

[Mig29tvc]

Toney was never the best in strikes and never the best in defending, but he collect both wayt to his own perfect style.

[thewelshviper]

@Mig29tvc never the best at defending? are you fucking retarded?

[comnieto]

8:18

watta you want from me dog?! I don't like you

[THISISNIDDY]

@comnieto he said why you walkin up on me dog

[comnieto]

@THISISNIDDY

wow, thanks. I feel like my life has suddenly changed now.

[LVSWTZ]

Toney's still the Best. He's my GOD of WAR. Any Whoo! The Weights in are OFFICIALY In For Tomorrow's Fight: James Toney 199, Denis Lebedev 197.5 it should be a barn burner Lebedev is tough Cookie with very HEAVY Hands but'll take Toney late KO Deffinately by decesion.

[mathgeekphysics]

3:08, this made me laugh

[Tracywithafacey]

"Im undestructable"... Interesting

[AhmadAlony123]

Lol holyfield realised that his defense sucks, so later he tried to copy James Toney's.

[GreatMusikProduction]

0:35 POW!!!

[SpinningBackFists]

Toney is something special and i say it evertime he was taylor made to beat Tyson.He would of seen Tyson coming from a mile away

[TheSweetestScience]

So, soooooooo crafty...

[MrENGLISHBULL]

Toney fights anyone, any weight.. A true champion, a born fighter...

[NordicBlood84]

Jim gray brings out the best in them.

[TheSweetestScience]

@NordicBlood84 hahahaha Jim is the Larry Merchant of ShoTime.

[connymat]

Like him or hate him, but James is one of the most talanted fighters ive ever seen!!! Ant the man doesnt even train that much..

[EritreanMusiq]

Damn there throwing nothing but haymakers 

[OfficialMattprc]

Like Toney or not, the guy is a Genius in the Ring.

[malmokber]

If you love boxing, you love Toney.

[cage000100]

roy jones kicked his ass

[fid65]

punk ass bitch

[MastaSmack]

Imagine Holyfield in his prime as a Light Heavy facing Toney in THAT division...

[Santosproductionz01]

@MastaSmack toney in his prime was at 168

[MastaSmack]

Imagine Holyfield in his prime as a Light Heavy facing Toney in THAT division...

[LVSWTZ]

@MastaSmack wow! that would be something

[lcvd1]

This is my favorite James Toney fight. What a fighter! I also loved when Toney dispatched "loud-mouth" Michael "Second To Toney" Nunn.  I saw that on live telecast as a kid.

[moofieswagg17]

the interview was crazy but thats how boxers are suposed to talk and act hell they get paid to beat the shit out of people

[boipinoi604]

@moofieswagg17 just toney.. and tyson... and mayweather...

[HellbringerUK]

This wasn't about the better boxer, it was about a boxer who is a shadow of what he once was. It wasn't about how good Toney is, more about how much Holyfield has faded.

[TurtLePimpin]

@HellbringerUK u gotta give Toney his dues. he shouldnt even be fighting at HW

[HellbringerUK]

@TurtLePimpin Toney is fighting at HW for a few reasons:- The pace suits him, The heavyweight division is not what it was and anyone who is left like Holyfield have been around a decade to long. I like Toney hes got great skill and is a good addition to an otherwise boring HW division.

[CNCTEMATIC]

that was beautiful boxing

[franktib]

let me guess toney lost his next fight

[coopiero1]

@franktib let me guess you are a fuckin idiot who knows nothing about boxing, toney was undefeated for nearly 5 years after this fight

[franktib]

@coopiero1 yea i saw that. i never heard much about him for him going 44-0-2. then i wached rjj make him look stupid

[franktib]

sorry coopiero i dont have time to study every has been that comes down the pike

[coopiero1]

@franktib he was a well known fighter he was voted the ring magazine's fighter of the year at one point its not like he's michael fuckin grant

[nsmcgirt]

how come this tony didnt show up against peter twice

[uglybabashouse2]

I bet the dislike came from Jim Grey!

[ohho1]

This James beats both Klitschkos.

[MysteryoftheGods]

@ohho1 I'm a major Klitschko fun, but i'd love to see that fight! Toney is sooo freakin awesome

[neate1000]

i hope tony fights klitschko and counter punches all night the way toney just makes all the big boys miss and puts his head and body into them to make them lose there power is amazing cant be matched by any heavy wheight. what beats toney is speed a fast fighter is the style of fighter built to beat toney.

[djk28161]

@neate1000 true...James is so damn slick....He would have his way with Klitschko or even Tyson.....who was destroyed by Evander....This guys technique is beyond comparison....even at his current weight of 260....slick as ever

[xxxDBCxxx]

@djk28161 The thing nobody realizes about when tyson was beat by hollyfield he was he was already out of his prime. After Cus passed away, Tyson wasn't the same. His head wasn't in the game after that. When he was focused he was unbeatable. He didn't loose once utill Cus died. If tyson was in his prime he would be evander no problem

[LVSWTZ]

@djk28161 Toney's still the Best. he's my GOD of WAR. The Weights in are OFFICIALY In For Tomorrow's Fight: James Toney 199, Denis Lebedev 197.5 it should be a barn burner Lebedev is tough Cookie with very HEAVY Hands but'll take Toney late KO Deffinately by decesion.

[MysteryoftheGods]

My dream fight: Toney vs Hagler

[djk28161]

@MysteryoftheGods Battle for the Buffet Plate....Toney vs. Tubbs...even more interesting

[LVSWTZ]

@MysteryoftheGods Hide the women and children!

[MysteryoftheGods]

@LVSWTZ Send the women to my room!

[BoxingPride]

Those body shots just KILLED Holyfield... what's you needed to beat a fighter like Holyfield.

[promenoshi]

you just dont have boxers like this any more

[arama0010]

An in- shape focused James Toney is not bad alright. Pitty he is always fat.

Roy Jones would've had his number anyday, even at HW.

[makpak]

@arama0010 na i dont so

[xjoncamposx]

Is that Goosen in the background?

[makpak]

@xjoncamposx yeah

[xjoncamposx]

@makpak For some reason he looks so different to me. How time has changed.

[EuropeanBoxingNews]

haha i actually hope he talks his way into a klitschko fight as he has been calling them out for years .... luckily there is nobody left to fight

i actually want to see either klitschko wipe the floor with him

[dapperdonmilli]

Lmao classic->> "who's next !?! I got milk baby "

[KravaLLT]

@QawiBraxton81 Everyone has an excuse :))

[KravaLLT]

Last James Toneys great fight and last fight that Evander Holyfield was in

[sparkz2112]

@KravaLLT Holyfield is still fighting...its been years since this fight...you dont know boxing.

[KravaLLT]

@sparkz2112 I tried to make a point that after this fight all the rest of Holyfields fights were shitty... retard?

[luiselboxeador]

that good boxer Evander Holyfield : )

[zenmachinefilms]

What a great defensive slipper of punches. This Toney would be HW champ today, but if he's making a comeback in 2011...I don't know.

[sparkz2112]

@zenmachinefilms idk. this Toney COULD be champ today only because of who the champs are. no way this toney wouldve been champ in Holyfields day, tyson wouldve had a field day and lewis iwouldve been too tall to be countered

[KravaLLT]

@sparkz2112 Toney WAS the champ in holyfields and tysons days. Middleweight champ

[sparkz2112]

@KravaLLT if you read the comments i was responding to, you would see it was in regards to the heavyweight title. he was middleweight champ and ill admit he was impressive, but hes a joke as a heavyweight. plus as a heavyweight he has been caught using steroids on multiple occasions.

[KravaLLT]

@sparkz2112 Toney is a joke as a heavyweight? Based on what? He got cought on steroids once against Ruiz. And after that he said that, that was not steroids, it was just a medication for a faster biceps and triceps injury health and it didnt effected his performance because he came a bit overweight. Ruiz was a champ Toney beat him, Rahman was a champ, Toney beat him too. Explain me what you meant

[sparkz2112]

@KravaLLT the same rahman that layed down against klitschko and dominated by lewis? and ruiz is a joke as well, he got dominated by a light heavyweight. put toney in there with any prime fighter that is good and he wont make it at heavyweight...Holyfield probably would have killed him in his prime. skilled middle/super middleweight. heavyweight...not so much..

[joe1969812]

RANDY COUTURE!!!!!!!!!!!

[vdentjr]

@joe1969812 LYOTO MACHIDA!!!!!

[77GetReady]

@vdentjr LOL!!!!!

[KravaLLT]

Toney is a fucking greatest boxer EVER

[kristangelo]

@QawiBraxton81 The holyfield that beat tyson, would beat toney

[KravaLLT]

@kristangelo Excuses as allways :))

[voodooorc]

nice defeat

[holdkaeftima]

@QawiBraxton81

Like Toney was in his prime himself when he fought against Holyfield. Toney has had more fights in his career than Holyfield. Toney was a true throwback fighter.

[lockout88]

epo using pussy fuck that steroid user

[D2Kprime]

What year was this?

[Lacqueras]

2 of the very best fighters of all time. But no one beats Toney

[Robstailey]

i think if they fought earlier james would have knocked him out cold. his style and skills are just too much for holyfield. to this day, he remains the only one to have stopped him.

[TheArkham13asylum]

i love james toney and his fightstyle but i think if they were younger Holyfield wouldve won he is just one hell of a fighter

[FSMNoodlyAppendage]

Is the sound not synced properly or something at 6:23? Or did it really take the commentator that long to realize the towel had been thrown in hahaha.

***Guy in red suit waves towel, Holyfield's and Toney's entire corners come into the ring***......"Umm...I THINK they're throwing in the towel here..." Uhhhh, ya think?

[BLAHpukana]

WTF are you on about saying we know nothing about boxing? evander isnt a natural heavyweight you fuck he was a natural light heavy weight but destroyed that weight class and bulked up to be a heavyweight because he had fought every1 in his natural weight division.im over you and you thinking your the man and thinking you know everything about boxing cus you box at north london boxing club haha but you ask any expert and they would say holyfield is def the better champ of the 2

[BLAHpukana]

promote the fight after the fights finished? how dumb are you? Ali was the best at PROMOTING but AFTER he fought a great champion he would pay his respects. i was saying james toneys a dick cause hes an arogant person and he gives fighters a bad name.Aw and youd know all about ballsacks cus cunts like you get fucken tea baged by every man in the neighbourhood and his dog 88ItalianStalian

[BLAHpukana]

i didnt say he wasnt a good boxer you ballsack i can respect that hes a goodboxer and may have been the best pound for pound fighter when he fought in middleweight, i just said he wasa dick cus toneys a down right cunt...thanx for the history lesson 88ItalianStalian but fuck you

[88ItalianStalian]

@BLAHpukana your just a pathetic specimen who would probably get battered by your girlfriend. Oh and a ballsack is something that you lack mate!! Toney talked all that smack for promotion and to sell tickets if you cant see that your just a phillistine but you probably dont know what that is you illiterate and defenceless amoeba! Tyson did it, Floyd Mayweather does it, Ali was the best at it. THEY ALL TALK SMACK FOR MONEY. You just talk smack because you don't know any better so whos rly a cunt?

[BLAHpukana]

james toney your a dick....bottom line

[88ItalianStalian]

@BLAHpukana you faggot Toney would knock you out with a jab, Won titles at 3 weights, future hall of famer and millionaire boxer who the fuck are you??? A hating no mark mate jog on. LONG LIVE THE DOG!!! Oh and your a bitch BOTTOM LINE

[TheHungis]

@88ItalianStalian Blahpukana was merely stating that James Toney was a dick, as a person.

as a boxer, yeah he "WAS" a great fighter, and one of the best p4p fighters around, his comments after this fight diminished the respect he gained from beating a great champion, i agree with BlahPukana and you should shut the fuck up, have a good day.

[88ItalianStalian]

@TheHungis We hav another pussy among our ranks, listen you wna shut me up come to North London and shut me up at my boxing gym, il spar you with no headguard and put you on the canvas multiple times. TONEY SAID MOST OF THAT SHIT FOR PROMOTION, he did it so he wud get the big fights u dumb fuck! Everyone fucking did it, ALI WAS A MASTER AT IT. Modern day example is David Haye and it works becz he nearly fought both brothers before he had a world title! What does that tell you? Being adick pays

[TheHungis]

@88ItalianStalian Your not even worth the words I'm writing bro, let alone a $3000 plane ticket, Your really tough challenging people to fight on Youtube haha, Pacquiao is a perfect modern day example of getting to where he is, getting all the fights and promotion he needs without talking shit, Neither did Holyfield, They were and are more successful then Toney and Haye will ever be, because they are humble.great champions who get shit done without the constant need to bag their opponents.

[88ItalianStalian]

@TheHungis the pair of you know nothing about boxing, toney battered holyfield and hes is naturally A MUCH SMALLER MAN (middleweight) and Evander is a natural heavyweight and your telling me Holyfield was a better champion after he got knocked out by a boxer whos not even at his natural weight ahahah your just delusional pussies that lack and dont respect charisma!! Who gives a fuck is what said before and after a fight anyway???? Only pussies like you, what goes on in the ring matters

[TerryMMA85]

nice upload mate very well put together.you should add ufc mma to video tags
