I personally wouldnt mind seeing it happen, James Toney could get revenge after all those years or maybe Roy Jones could prove he is just better Than Toney no matter what age or weight!

a have no interest in this fight. what would the point of it be . If it happens , Jones should win a lackluster and boring decision. Toney has nothing left
It was just the injury that slowed Toney down, I wouldnt mind seeing those two against each other now just for the sake of two legends past it trying to prove who is better with hardly nothing left!Quote:

Toney with no injury would beat Roy's ass..
Lebedev got very lucky..
Did you see Jones vs. Hopkins II ? It was absolutely dreadful.
The one word I could think of to describe a Jones vs. Toney match now would be PITIFUL.
That said, if they need the money that bad then they should fight one another. Probably a very good payday for each of them compared to what else is out there.
It would still be fun to watch because you know those two hate each otherQuote:

I'm with you, I'd have absolutely no interest in seeing itQuote:

Lets see Holmes vs Foreman rather than this!
Re: Roy Jones vs James Toney in 2012? Could it happen...
I guess it COULD happen. The question is: why
Toney was clearly injured and it seems to have been worse than many thought it might be too. Toney isn't quite done yet and I'm willing to give Toney a final throw of the dice.
He will knock out Jones Jr.
He probably will, but who will care? Everyone's knocking out Jones these days...Quote:

Since when does James Toney fall down EVERY TIME he throws a right? There was clearly a reason for it all. Even being semi shot can't make you stumble non-stop.Quote:

No one should have any interest in this fight.
However, I wouldn't be shocked if it happens.
I'd hate to see such a fight.Quote:

This would be a horrible fight & it would be just about each fighter's ego, rather than a meaningful contest to see who is the best.
I hope not! This would be gruesome and worse than badly acted senior porn. All it would do is give two washed up badly faded shadows think they are still relevant. Breaking up is hard to do but sometimes it's the only thing left to do. These guys need to walk on and enjoy speaking properly and kicking back with family.
It would be a real sad event to see RJJ v Toney, both way past it and that is what we would all be seeing, what they could have done and not what they are doing in the ring now. Who would have thought that over 15 years later both would be fighting. This would be the equivalent of James Degale v George Groves in 2026.
;D;D;DQuote:

Good question. I think it would resemble a 40 year old Ali versus a 50 year old Jimmy Young. Two guys with nothing at all left, moving in slow motion and neither able to knock the other out.Quote:

Yikes... Well if either of them ever partake in a notable fight again it may as well be against each other I guess. I think Roy Jones could actually win kind of easily again as well, Toney may even make him look like he has something to offer.
