Heavyweight Roy Jones Vs Heavyweight James Toney

[Majesty]

Roy Jones... he was still taking the sport seriously. His footspeed was too much for Toney at 168, and fat Toney p4p was a lot slower. Roy would stay away and pot shot him.

Toney was far from fat when he took on Holyfield, and IMO if Tarver could ko Jones (even if the weight hurt him, whats the excuse for Johnson), Toney who although not that big of a puncher, had more pop than Jones, and he'd basically be trailing and not by much to later stop Jones cold, and plz dude, that was one of Jones' lamest excuses, "it's just not fun anymore", yea of course it's not fun when someone finally knocks you silly

James never really look that impressive at Heavyweight except against Holyfield and lets face it, Larry Donald looked like the savior of the heavyweight division against Holyfield.

he looked pretty damn good against Ruiz and Sam Peter the first time out, and hell i'd even say that the Cruiserweight Toney would beat the HW Jones

A serious Toney at the cruiserweight limit of 200 pounds would be a serious endevour. Just don't think Toney is serious enough to get himself in that kind of shape any more. Jones would pot shot him for 12 rounds and win by 8 rounds to 4.

VS Tarver it was the weight that hurt him, I don't think he had recovered when he fought Johnson, he jumped right back into the mix to make everyone forget about the loss before he did. Johnson is a solid fighter, he applied constant pressure and Roy folded up on account of the fact he had never had to deal with that before.

James Toney is a different animal, he countered Evander all night long, and he dealt with John Ruiz's pressure easily. Roy is a guy who moved too much for Toney to be effective against. Toney likes people to come to him and Roy knew that the first time they fought and he whipped him and he'd do it again if they fought at heavyweight.

I think the bigger question is could James Toney have beaten Mike Tyson at that point in his career?
