James Toney

[roberto duran legend]

There is no way Toney could have kept up with the pressure and workrate of the Marvelous one .

James Toney would have lost to quite a few past greats, but would have beaten a few greats also, going from MW to HW is just amazing , great fighter ?

Yes Mr Toney you are a great.

People are seriously overrating Hagler or underrating Toney cuz a hagler victory aint no foregone conclusion but from the looks of it, seems like people are automatically putting one over the other.. It's like how dudes assume Ray Robinson would beat Ray Leonard just because of the aura that the former fighter has..

Assuming this is the best version of Toney VS the best of Hagler, I go with Toney....

Toney imo doesn't like fleet footed opponents who give him alot of movements and Hagler sure doesn't fit that mold.. Toney is at his best when guys come at him and dudes get picked apart in that situation.. This is Toney's zone and Hagler would play right into it..

Forget about a freakin Knockout cuz Hagler punches aint gonna do shit to Toney.. he'd probably laugh it off...

The fight would take place alot from the midrange and on the inside and nobody's beating Toney in that area.. Not even hagler..

Toney > Hagler

I'll stack up the list of Hagler's opponents against the list of Toney's opponents any day of the week. No comparison. You think Hagler's overrated and Toney's underrated.... I think totally the opposite. Never could understand people's being so enamoured of this Toney dude. 'Bout the only amazing thing he did was go from MW to HW, albeit a blubbery, shit-talking, slurring HW.... but he still managed to hang with some of the mediocre HW's in the division at the time. Two fighters I could never understand the big deal were James Toney and Riddick Bowe. Lots of similarities there. What was Toney's biggest scalp? Michael "Second to" Nunn? Pleeeease, spare me. Hagler fought better competition in a 2-3 year stretch than all Toney's opponents put together.
