Very old video from before the 2nd Benn Eubank fight.

Back when Tony was thin and you could understand what he was saying.

I remember watching this when it was on.

Toney has always been a gob shite

Benn smashed Barkley all over the shop in the first round.
Toney had to go 9, 3 years later

Toney turned down a fight at Cruiser with Eubank in 2001 I think.

I dont care what Toney garbles on about, I think both Eubank and Benn had his beating, more so Eubank.

It was good seeing Toney getting fatter during those career highlights.

thats why he's top 5 of my favorite fighters

i remember that on tv it was great viewing

eubank beats toney
dunno abt benn toney tho

I think Benn was the absolutely PERFECT opponent for Toney...I'm not sure about Eubank but Benn was wide with his punches and Toney's defense and chin is such that he could handle Benn

Was that a laugh track being used Seemed a bit 70's game show-esq altogether Am a huge Benn fan but he would have had an up hill battle all the way with peaked Toney but had that constant eraser in power. Eubank and Toney shared flaws,full of ego and could be out worked and hustled,especially Eubanks. Think Toney beats him. Just way to sharp inside.

From good fighter to fat clown loser trash-talking slurring punch-drunk delusional idiot in just a few short years. Just how does a person sink that fast?

Toney beats Eubank, Benn v Toney good fight id lean to Toney though.

James Toney gave Iran Barkley a beating from start to finish, it was a Jeff Lacy vs Joe Calzaghe type beatdown, have you even seen the fight ?

Nigel Benn vs Iran Barkley was controversial, because one of those knockdowns were slips. And he constantly kept hitting Iran Barkley when he was down, Iran Barkley had Nigel Benn badly hurt aswell in that round.

And im sorry no way either beat a prime James Toney.

Those clips of Toney in the early days are awesome, he was young but just a natural boxer who could handle anyone, except the weight.

That video misses the best bit when Eubank starts rambling about "why is he insulting my mother"

ICB, none of those were slips in Benn-Barkley. And there was nothing controversial, it was just a violent one round tear-up.

I seem to remember one of those knockdowns being a slip, but whatever it don't really matter. But i think Nigel Benn hitting Iran Barkley on the floor twice, he was lucky he didn't get DQ.

And IMO Iran Barkley despite being down a few times, as crazy as this may sound. I still think he was dangerous, and he had a chance.

Would of been interesting if they wouldn't of had the 3 knockdown rule.

EXACTLY.

I'm a Benn fan, but Benn would be throwin and missin big overhand rights all night and getting COUNTERED with Toney's right hand hard.

Benn would be KTFO.

And Eubank would be outboxed by Toney no doubt about it.

They wanted no part of Toney.
