I always find a lot of interest in seeing the fights you watch. I see you do a series on a specific fighter and other times pick specific bouts like this one. Would love for you to write a bit of a review of why you selected the fight and what you thought, if you would be so kind.

Nice one mate, it basically started off with me going though some list of top 100 fights but whereas for instance Ali/Frazier 3 was No1 I watched all three fights and I done that all way through the list so I must've watched well over 200 fights by end of it, then I went through some A-Z of fighters of a book I had although I skipped the guys I never knew or heard much of, now I'm basically going through the fighters in the thread but not breaking the fights down like I used to mainly because I can't be botheredoogiebe wrote: ↑17 Jun 2022, 23:24I always find a lot of interest in seeing the fights you watch.

I'm on page 12 in the thread and that's at the time when Horse done his 52 fights of the year so there's a lot of lesser guys popping up now and again, hence the Ruan fight, his fight with McGuigan was in Horse's thing, I've already been through McGuigan's career so watched Ruan but the McDonnell fight is all there is really
Next up is Carl Thompson, I've seen his fights with Eubank, Haye, Nelson and Sellers so I'm gonna watch the Nicky Piper fight today

yeah, you get the impression Toney's handlers back then really didn't want him having layoffs; keeping him busy was keeping him in shape i guess, his matchmaking back in those days has all the signs of a fighter who was *hungry* 9in the right way)

Jackie Kallen was hungry, nearly as hungry as big James.Counter-puncher wrote: ↑21 Jun 2022, 03:38yeah, you get the impression Toney's handlers back then really didn't want him having layoffs; keeping him busy was keeping him in shape i guess, his matchmaking back in those days has all the signs of a fighter who was *hungry* 9in the right way)
As an aside, when folk go on about guys like Langford going up and therefore the heavyweights of his time being shit, Toney getting dropped heavily by Johnson is a good example of how anomalies like Langford can compete with top guys who well outweigh them.

I’m just having a look at this now, I’m sure I must have seen it but it was a good while back. Wow Toney looks crude next to Johnson at times.
Johnson is always such a good watch with that smoothness. A fight between him and Herol Graham would have been a real clash of the fast southpaws.
