How anyone could watch prime James and come to that conclusion is beyond me. One of the most underrated guys ever.
I have never seen this prime James Toney. When was that and who was that against? Sorry but a little shoulder roll off the ropes and ducking a punch from a no hoper is not greatness. Who did he beat? He managed a win over the body snatcher and Jirov at cruiser. He's probably the reason they moved the yard stick north. He's a blowhard who never accomplished squat and I'll say it again, one of the most overrated underachieving wind bags ever. I'd like to know who this James Toney is everyone keeps yacking on about year in and year out. The guy should be on the show "Urban Legends"
I normally agree with you but Toney beat an undefeated Nunn (in his home town), McCallum (although I thought he lost), he did have some bad performances because of weight issues but he moved up weight and schooled Barclay with beautiful display of boxing/brutality, ko Williams was quality, outboxing Jirov in a classic and the rest at heavyweight was a bonus.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
