James Toney trash talks Eubank and Benn

[Hulk]

I think Benn was the absolutely PERFECT opponent for Toney...I'm not sure about Eubank but Benn was wide with his punches and Toney's defense and chin is such that he could handle Benn

EXACTLY.

I'm a Benn fan, but Benn would be throwin and missin big overhand rights all night and getting COUNTERED with Toney's right hand hard.

Benn would be KTFO.

And Eubank would be outboxed by Toney no doubt about it.

They wanted no part of Toney.

Regarding Eubank vs Toney, Chris was going to sign a contract to face Toney as he thought Toney had faded and would not be that strong ,only by now they were both at Cruiserweight. Unfortunately,James decided to move up to Heavyweight so the fight never happened.

Damn shame as it would have been the ultimate chess match with Chris doing a poor man's Jones, staying on the outside flicking the jab, with Toney attempting to cut the ring down and land combo's.

In reality no matter where the fight was being held it would have been a 50/50 fight but with the home town fighter getting the win on points.


Regarding Benn vs Toney, well they both fought Barkley, Dewitt and Sanderline Williams only Nigel did a better job than Toney did. Yes,Toney schooled Barkley but this was years AFTER Benn had smashed him in 1 round. Barkley and DeWitt hit the deck 7 TIMES against Benn between them, but ZERO times against Toney. So whose the dangerous fighter here cause it sure doesn't look like its 'Tits out' Toney?

Toney got a draw 1st time out against Williams and Benn managed a VERY close SD win. Both evenly matched against the same fighter here.

Basically, Toney should beat Nigel as Nigel would tire badly late on if he didn't get rid of Toney early. However,if Reggie Johnson can drop Toney BADLY then so can Nigel Benn, only Benn 'could' finish him.


60/40 Toney though no Toney nut huggers here would EVER convince me Benn was made for 'Tits out' as that is patently not the case. Benn would undoubtedly be THE most ferocious fighter James ever met at middle.
