LOL, mind you, you cannot blame them, when we showed them Joe Bugner, Richard Dunn, James L Gardner, Brian London, and an old Davey Boy Green.
With the exception of the odd heroic performance, we always choked against the yanks, until the Ragamuffin Man began turning the tide ;)

Doesn't change the fact Benn ducked James Toney. Wonder why? ;)

Toney blew the RJJ fight, before Benn or Eubank could fight him ;)

Toney had been calling Benn out even before he fought Nunn. Why didn't Benn fight him before Nunn or anything after Nunn? Because Toney was calling Nigel Benn out. And Benn ducked him...why? ;)

RJJ has a big problem dealing with the straight right, Tommy had the finest straight right of any 168lber.... so ;)

LOL, no one had heard of Toney pre Nunn, and post Nunn, Benn was fighting at 168lbs, Toney at 160lbs. It was not until 93, that fight became realistically possible, and the build up to it began, then Toney met RJJ.... ;)

Either than Glen Johnson give me one fighter that gave Roy Jones Jr. problems with the straight right hand... Also I would rather be hit by Hearns' right hand over Roy left hook any day of the week.
Re: Benn KO's Roy Jones Jr? Quotes from other boards
I agree, Hearns' straight right was beautiful on a little guy like Duran
but Roys left hook on guys who were bigger than him, whole nother story

Bernard hopkins found that he could hit roy with rights..but too bad for him it was too late in the fight...
Re: Benn KO's Roy Jones Jr? Quotes from other boards
After Toney beat Barkley Toney said "Nigel Benn's Momma is the Loch Ness monster!" and Benn would of LOVED to of gone over there and fought Toney, but he wanted to KO Nunn first to make the Toney fight bigger.
Benn lived in LA in 1994, he went to the press conference of Toney's Prince Charles Williams fight but security had been informed not to let Benn in. Then, on Toney's first day in camp for Roy Jones he was greeted by none other than Nigel Benn who shouted across the gym "Oi! Get in the ring with me you fat B******, I'll get you in shape." But Toney refused and his entourage wouldn't let Benn near him. They rumourely had to be split apart at the Outlaw Boxing Club (Mickey Rourke's gym) once as well, sometime earlier in 1994.
Re: Benn KO's Roy Jones Jr? Quotes from other boards
At one point Benn said he'd fight Toney in the carpark and love every second of it!
Re: Benn KO's Roy Jones Jr? Quotes from other boards
But, Toney went and fucked it up by losing to Jones :)
