If nothing else i think James will forever have the best nickname in my mind.

Anyone with wins over
Nunn Barkley Mcallum Jirov Holyfield and Reggie Johnson has had a great career.
Wish he could have fought Hopkins ar some stage.
At the time,I hated to admit it but Im convinced that Jones Jr. totally and completly got into Toneys head,psyched him out.Vast majority of Career it was Toney with supreme confidence and massive swagger.....But to jones credit,he turned the tables inside and outside of the ring.Huge Toney fan...but regardless of weight issues,he was beaten Toney that night.

Following that fight up with a Griffin match was just not well thought out.I think Griffin was a poor mans Jones.Not on same level at but extremely shifty,good thinker.Good call on Hopkins match,prime for prime at Middle....what a dream fight we might have had.
