I recall the fights toney had with Mike McCollum, masterful boxing IQ, ring general ship, against an awesome fighter... he was at his best at middle or super middle weight imo... I'm sorry to see his mental faculty has declined though... he is legendary middle weight going all the way to the heavy weight... incredible

I watched this live. Toney was on the comeback trail after 2+ years off and was laying waste. He went seven more years without a defeat. Legend.

I saw it live too. It was the first time I saw Toney. Never seen anyone like him

James puts him down as soon as someone yells "lights out'

Toney is the first defensive pressure fighter I've ever seen.

Fine tuning. If you arent on that world championship level, 99% of the time the guy who is will take you out in the fine margins. Its not a game of inches, its a game of millimetres.

I remember this fight because Toney used the same trap and overhand left that he used to KO Mike Nunn. Toney and Duran were two guys who would pressure the hell out of you WHILE being nearly untouchable at their best. Floyd had moments when he would do it but these guys made careers out of going after guys and beating them up while hardly getting touched.

@@tomasdipietro794 Yeah this guy was a phenom. But also a true student of the game, and the history. It is crazy to think, if he didn't enjoy eating so much, and was more humble in his 20's. You probably know, he didn't like training, (running, exercises, etc). He mostly sparred, to keep in shape. He probably has the most sparring time of any boxer, lol.

Didn’t really appreciate JT back then as RJ stole his shine for me, but 20 plus years later I can really appreciate the fighter he was. He is now one of my favourite fighter to pull out of the archives to watch and admire his skill.

"That's why he's James Toney" ultimate respect from the opponents corner.

The sneaky right hand by toney before the knockout left hook was the set up. When he threw the right hand he had to sneak it which threw him off balance. Toney in control the whole fight. Toney in my top 5 greatest fighters ever!

Been watching James Tony fights, just went a watched a Danny Garcia fight...straight back to James Tony

Reminds of watching these fights when I was a kid. Are these ring side commentators still around?

toney my favourite boxer ever. got so much style

What a knockout. Jeez. One of my favourite fighters of all time….he could definitely talk the talk and walk the walk. What an example of combination punching ending with a murderous left hook to end matters. Lights out was the absolute real deal. Miss great fighters like this…:bygone era now, Toney, McClellan, Hopkins, Jones to name a few.

I love watching tony vs Samuel Peterson...what a lovely fight for me.

All you keep hearing was lights out in the crowd then boom Tony Lights out in the next few secs. lol

Really appreciate this upload thanks 👍🏽👍🏽

Toney is one of the most entertaining boxers iv'e ever seen.

Oh God, I was feeling every punch from here.

guys a beast

Toney turns guys like this into sparring partners.

I love that ko. Its was an effortless shot. You could see him bounce right before he threw it to catch the opponent's rhythm

At the end, James Toney’s experience came in but Jason Robinson did really good. I think he should’ve capitalized more power on his straight lefts and I think he could’ve caught Tony a few times

The real nightmare, not just agressive defense, he can sit in the pocket, feet on his opponents centerline, an rip counters all day. He is impossible to hurt Even though he is slow footed, you cant keep him off you. If uou mabage to do that, it's because he let's you. It's a trap, especially when his back on the ropes.

James is a good 👍 boxer is arte. NIce to watch

That’s what I thought!

my favorite boxer of all time , JAMES TONY . the best ever !!!

Yeah

Tony toyed around with him the whole fight that was a sparring session for him🐐

Once toney finds the range on his left snap jab it sets up his roll into that philly shell which then leads to the counter hooks. Love his style.. alot of judges score him wrong because they dont see the beauty thats taking place.

Toney should have been DQ'd for hitting the guy when he was down in the fifth. When all that is supporting you is the ropes, that means you are down.

That switch to Southpaw turns your Short left hook to a Over left hand

You've probably seen Toney fight you know what level your on and you still fight him....Gutsy and or a bit foolish.

Toney the technician

Toney is boxing wonderful, I really like him a lot the way his doing boxing. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Toney lost the overall hand speed like he did in his early days but his skills were as sharp as ever, and his power was on point. Ain’t no telling how he would’ve been if he’d stayed in shape throughout his career..

Toney was a maestro at switching from orthodox to southpaw and this punch was the exact one he KO'ed Michael Nunn with. Who was brilliant at switch hitting too was Mike Tyson. He did it against both Trevor Berbick and Pinklon Thomas

As soon as he hit james you knew it was gonna be over soon lol. Hea never in shape so his performance is based on how much he cares lol

Легендарный Тони

I really wish Toney stayed at cruiserweight. It gave him an incentive to stay somewhat in shape and he would have dominated that division for years.

Similar to that Nunn Punch

"the bad and the beautiful" ?????? wonder which way round she means..... 0:21

4:13 uh….ever heard of Vitaly Klitschko??

Robinson don't know how to punch 😂

That's called crumpling.

Toney has one of the biggest, most bulbous heads in the game. Lmao

My favorite boxer of all times.

Jason your mistake is not throwing left hook right after straight right hand jab!

Ferguson's corner: "You're boxing beautiful Toney"

Ring craft. Veteran Toney vs Veteran Duran ? I gotta say Toney.

Jason improve a lot in comparison to the time of fighting with talmadge griffis 👍👍👍

A good fighter vs Expert boxer.

Common Jason, you only throw straight punches with your left hand Why? Sometimes you should have tried hook with your hand hand too! Practice harder for next fight.

Amy hayes 🤤🤤🤤

Of course he loss the fight before it started his trainer George was and still is a bum. Lol he had 1 guy name lil ed that did nothing but cry. 🤣

Jason you cannot punch properly with your left hand or what?

Jason you lack so many skills! Most probably hook for both hands!

Robinson weak

We need Jake paul vs james toney....
