i cant believe gavin evans some white boy has the nerve to write that. seriously toney is a great fighter, if u want i can get flaws out sugar ray robinsons record, jones's record, big georges record, that doesnt mean they not great.
the reason why toney never beat the undisputed champ in any division cos he was the undisputed champ, okay maybe he wasnt, but toney was known for fighting everyone and anyone, and very often. im sick of these writers, they need to be shot dead, okay maybe im goin over the top cos im angry but they try n get ppl down, n its just not fair, seriously!
toney was at one time the p4p king, he has won the Ring fighter of the year twice i think, his record is awesome, he's fought everyone, some of the most dangerous fighters around, he openyl challenged benn and eubank on tv (had the ballz). i mean i've NEVER!!! SEEN A FIGHTER AS COMPLETE AS TONEY BOTH IN THE THE PRACTICAL SIDE OF THINGS AND THE FACT HE FOUGHT EVERYONE AND HAS THE RIGHT MENTALITY (ATTITUDE) THAT A FIGHTER NEEDS OR HAS TO HAVE, THE '#I WILL FIGHT ANYONE ANYWHERE ANYTIME'. the onli james toney wasnt is a big box office draw like tyson, i'll never know why

While agree that the column was biased i dont agree with Toney being the most complete fighter ever. I do think his record flatters him a little. Just to pick apart your post a little bit.....

You say you have stopped buying the Boxing News because you are a know all and because the writers dont have any ring experience....well neither do most posters on here yet your happy to post on the site??

Also i don't know what you mean by WHITE BOY. Thats slightly racist and insinuates that White people are not allowed to write about black people and vice versa. Why does colour have to come into it Do white people only know about white boxers and vice versa?

Can you name one division where Toney did deserve to be undisputed number 1?
