James Toney v. Joe Calzaghe at 168

[p4pking]

Roy didn't really pick his spots as much against Toney... he fought alot.. and I see Toney countering Calzaghe quite easily... When he fought Nunn he was able to counter the whole fight, and hit Nunn with cleaner shots than he was being hit with, and gradually broke Nunn down, but also Nunn was a faster and better boxer than Calzaghe as well.

Did he F***, he was behind on the scorecards by 4 rounds, 6 rounds and 7 rounds respectively. He caught Nunn with a great left hook. If he was breaking him down he certainly disquised it well. I think Toney vs Calzaghe is a close fight. I've been watching quite a bit of james toney over the last 3-4 days and from what i can gather, his best wins seemed to be against fighters who were a bit past their prime. He was lucky to get the win against MCCallum. Iran Barkely had already been stopped inside 1 against nigel benn. Even when he beat Williams, williams went on to get a technical draw (altho he was well behind) and lose to Merqui sosa in his next 2 (they do say hindsight is 20-20). It just seems to me that he never really did anything spectacular and his record is pretty easy to pick apart. So i'm sitting with ICE COLD on this one, so whilst i give Toney is dues for being a great fighter, i think Calzaghe has a very good chance of beating him.

Watch the fight...

Thank you.

i havent really seen toney at supermiddleweight but looking at his record at his fights at supermiddleweight he beat charles williams and i heard fight was dead even and toney koed him in last round and he beat shot iran barkley and he got almost shut out by roy jones so even though james toney is great fighter i think jc has shot on his best night

Read Taeths comment. Why do people even post when they admiteddly know nothing about the fighter...

Calzaghe's punches are just too wide, he just wades in with those wide hooks, it would be hard for Toney to miss him with counters. I mean its not out of the question that Joe would win, obviously Toney's not Mr. Consistency and Calzaghe could win a decision on pure workrate even if he wasn't catching Toney a lot cleanly.

And Taeth and P4PKing are right, Toney didn't just throw one lucky left hook in the 11th against Nunn, he had won 3-4 rounds in a row IMO and was catching Nunn with a lot of right hand counters.

what by saying calzaghe has chance on his best night ?? which he most certainly does toney has been outboxed before im not saying cazlaghe would do this but he has a shot at winning

Calzaghe on a great night against Toney one a bad night...Calzaghe has a good chance. Yes, Toney has had some bad nights, for sure. Toney at his best vs. Calzaghe at his best. Not even close. Toney wins. Average Toney vs the best of Calzaghe, I'll still take Toney. If they fight 10 times, Toney wins 8 or 9.
