Chris Eubank says fighting prime Roy Jones or James Toney would have been suicide

[Master]

Yeah that was at middleweight, whipped Nunn in his own home town in Iowa.

James was amazing

Huge mistake on Nunn's part. He wanted to impress his crowd so he stayed in the pockets too long instead of using his legs. He could have easily won a decision had he boxed more..

Brilliant fight from both undefeated and talented fighters.

160: Julian Jackson, G-Man were too guys Roy should've fought. Instead his best win was over a still green Hop n a blowout of contender Thomas Tate.

168: Benn, Eubank, Collins, Gracciano, Nunn, Liles were all threats who he missed. He had a great win over Toney, but the rest were guys like Thornton, Brannon, n Vinny Paz (yes, former 135 n 154 journeyman titlist).

175: missed Darius, his biggest threat n lineal champ. Griffith win was probably his best win. Other wins included del Valle, an ancient Mcallum, ancient Reggie Johnson (former 160 titlist), Glenn Kelley, ancient Virgil Hill, and a good win over Tarver who had to harass him to fight. Tarver stretched him I'm the rematch.

190: Vasilly Jirov, Oneil Bell, Mcormack, Braithwaite would've all loved to fight him for the payday. Roy never fought at 190 but would say he was going to to try n overcome the Roycott n sell out a quarter of an arena.

Heavy: beat the most limited titlist in Ruiz. To put the significance into perspective, an out of shape and fat James Toney beat Ruiz as well. Jones backed out of a fight with Douglas after his daddy told him to n never even signed to fight Tuson, Holy, Lewis... Etc despite saying he wanted to.

Now with all of those missed opportunities some is going to ask if Roy missed them, or they missed Roy. Roy ducked them. They can't make Roy get in the ring with them. Roy wanted nothing to do with top competition after the Toney fight until he started getting beat by everyone. Then he would jump in n get his head handed to him.

That is hyper critical of Roy.

I am sure G Man was not champion when Roy was around at middleweight.

Beating Toney is better than all those other fighters.

Dariuz was a threat but Roy was the man so he had to come to him.

Roy never fought at cruiser weight in his prime.

Roy beating Ruiz was great for any fighter coming from such low weights.

Same old bullshit. Yawn.
