@PHILLYHEAT215 I meant @ 7:37...We're talking about the same punch......
-
@PHILLYHEAT215 I agree. How about @ 2:13.. How about the way Toney can get under those shots on the inside, and smother Barkley. Pretty good defense.
-
@liljoerox James Toney. Bernard is not an old school fighter. Old school fighter's don't run in with their head down and hold. I think Toney can still beat Bernard.

@isk8erboi i bet u cant box for shit pussy go watch men in tights ya queer MMgAy fan
-
Who wins, prime against prime, Bernard Hopkins and James Toney? Two guys with old school boxing skills and permanent chip on their shoulder.
-
@PHILLYHEAT215 yeah that was a hell of a shot for sure. but that was also one of the laziest jabs I've ever seen from Barkley. I love watching this fight.. it's brilliant
-
7:27 the right hand that Toney lands after he slipped the jab from Barkley has to be one of the greatest counter shots I've ever seen in my life.

@isk8erboi Well at least you tried, i guess. Boxing isn't for everyone, same way MMA isn't for everyone. I enjoy both sports, but I am partial to boxing. You have to be a fan of boxing to appreciate the technical brilliance of a prime James Toney. Personally, I find 2 grown men rolling around on the floor trying to get a submission for 5 minutes boring as fuck, but I do enjoy the stand up strikers like Anderson Silva and Machida.
Toney knew he was a genius & that was his problem. He knew on ability alone he could beat anyone on the planet - he also did'nt give a shit about looking after his body between fights & that's the only reason why Tiberi (who was robbed), Jones & then Griffin beat him during his very best years.
If you watch this fight, the Nunn fight & even the 1st McCallum fight - it really gives you an idea of how special he was for his age & what Toney really could have been despite his already HOF career.

Had this Toney shown up in the Roy Jones fight we would have seen a much closer fight,I suspect.
