- With Nigel Benn & Chris Eubank about to engage in another 12 round war, the pair appeared on an ITV show with Jonathan Ross to further talk up their hatred of each other. But common ground is found when a live link to Mickey Rourke & IBF champ James Toney results in both men being insulted.
James Toney
The one of the very few fighters who was never scared of anybody, called out everyone. Never ducked and was confident as hell
A real warrior spirit Toney had
Arguably the best of all time in my opinion,he fought everybody and never once got properly hurt, had everything as a fighter the ultimate bad ass muthafucka aswel
All 3 were warriors
His ducked Wlad when offered 1.5m, demanded 2.5m as a challenger! He would have lost but preferred to smack talk instead.
Chris what do you have to say. "IM THE BEST, WHEN I SEE YA. IMMA BEAT YOU AND YA MOMMAS ASS" haha greatest
apparently y'all forgot why they called him "Lights Out" Toney. Haha. He hurt his legacy sticking around too long but he used to get down. Haha
Benn and Eubank are both legends and were very dangerous fighters at the time. Eubank and Benn both wanted nothing to do with Toney.
They both would kill him
Nothin
Sources.... None
they refused to fight toney
Most frightening fighter on the planet at the time. James Toney well respected in the UK. If you've been in with McCallum and beat him and drew, no wonder Benn and Eubank kept away.
they're all laughing, but Toney would actually beat them both on the same night
He ducked McClellan and Benn beat him... Do the maths
@@zalle1 Really wheres the proof he ducked?
He would smoke eubank but nigel was one hell of a fighter even if toney would win against benn his career wouldn't be the same
@@maxjack6135 no way
No he wouldn’t. Don’t make stupid comments
Last time I checked both of them ducked Toney......
I dont think they really ducked. Promoters decided for them. I respect all three fighters.
@@SugarBoxingCom Eubanks admitted it, he said fighting Toney and Roy, was suicide. Maybe not so for Nigel.
Especially Eubank.
What's with that STUPID IGNORANT Audience???
@@ghana21 - Nah Chris said that about Roy only in that middleweight gloves are off
Eubanks admitted on a show called "round the table" that to fight Toney would have been considered suicide. On another note and interview Benn admitted that he was scared of Roy Jones. Roy Jones petrified him, but he would still fight him. The fight was never made as Jones didn't like to travel and felt British Refs were biased.
i even heard Chris in a later interview that he wouldn't fight roy because he couldn't land a shot on him
I think Benn was tailor made for Toney, given Toney's counterpunching skills. Mind you he wouldn't have gone quietly, and would have made Toney work every minute.
Eubank would have given Toney more trouble, his his tricky style and fast hands. But I don't think he would have been active enough and Toney would outhustle him, especially down the stretch.
I agree, yes indeed.
benn would have thrown missed got smashed Watson smashed benn and he would've been a 3 round fight for toney
stephen tarr he taunts him the whole way through in the beating too
I think they both get battered tbh watson was a better boxer than either chris or nigel just was a smaller guy with less power
stephen tarr I agree, eubank and benn were alright, but they don’t compare to James Toney, Toney was on another level.
James Toney was a savage man
The kid in the corner making the faces is my big brother John John, and in the the ring my dad John David jackson was sparring I don’t know who he was sparring though haha
eubank and benn never wanted this fight they weren't good enough
stephen tarr they will beat your ass though
@@giveme200subsok6 that wouldnt strengthen their legacy much beating a 57 yr old invalid
Eubank was unbeaten for 43 fights and was a 2 time world champion and so was Nigel had a high knockout ratio so they were both insane
@@giveme200subsok6 why didn’t they fight a prime James toney then look how quiet they are knowing he could give them hell especially Ben he was tailor made EUBANK had more of a chance
Eubank stuck for words. Love to have seen one of them try.
Toney would beat them both BAAAAAAAAAAAADLLLLLLLYYYYYY.
Dam straight man! Toney would make them look like amateurs
These guys are nothing compared to Toney. Toney is one of the greatest fighters who ever fought at 160.
they knew it brits were protected like hamed who was told not to go near paquiao but barrera was too big a risk too
@@1man1bike1road Lennox Lewis was the king back in the day though. He destroyed all of the top American heavyweights and Riddick Bowe ducked him.
Bro all 3 of these dudes are legends
@@simpdown1404 They are but Benn and Eubank are still nothing compared to Toney. Toney was on another level. Roy Jones, Nunn and McCallum would've smashed them too.
I believe both of them Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn work good Fighter's but I do not think they were in the caliber of James Toney very allusive fighter you couldn't hit him if he didn't want you.What we have here is Good Fighter's/Champions (Benn&Eubanks) here and a Great Fighter/Champion(Toney) don't get me wrong I liked watching all 3 Fighter's back in the Day
Gotta love lights out. And I’m a Brit.
3 great middleweight/super middleweight fighters. 2 black polite English chaps vs. 1 mean foul black bad ass American. Funny shit!!! Toney never fought either one of these talented fighter, but I don't believe it was James Toney's fault I think Benn and Eubank dodged there chances with Toney he was a bad mother fucker. Roy Jones Jr. and Bernard Hopkins are better then Toney in my opinion though.
Jillian Slowater Banks Toney lost to Jones because he couldn't make the weight, he was all weak and drain during the fight..
when eubank and benn were on top they never had the slightest eye on what was happening in the US. nunn toney mccallum etc. Benn only went there to redeem his rep but the best he thought was mercurial barkley. Eubank stayed away totally. not saying either were poor fighters but they didnt take that one step further that could have potentially made them boxing greats
Toney would have schooled Benn and stopped him inside 8 rds. Eubank would have posed more issues stylistically for Toney.
Greatest tv momment ever
Toney would’ve destroyed both of these guys
The best all round fighter in history imo
hell no. his footwork let him down.
A superb contender for that title, however to me RJJ (in his prime) is the most complete fighter in history
WBC stands for We Be Crooks and the WBO...we don't even count that! Crackling line. Damn shame Eubank didn't have a crack or Benn though.
No slurring there... James is so punched drunk now!
I rememeber watching this live just searched to see if youtube had it
This may have been before Toney took bucket loads of drugs as his voice is not only slurred but much much deeper now. Toney was of course a drug cheat and had his WBA heavyweight title annulled through failing a drug test, meaning he was never a heavyweight world champion despite the division being very weak at the time.
Middleweight division in the early to mid 90s was stacked.
I wish Eubank would have got in there with Toney. That would have been interesting!
Eubanks was a beast and a knockout king 🥊🥊🥊
toney was very hard to hit
You having a laugh? Eubank was never interested taking that fight
@@brianmorecombe2726 fscts
@@Jason-uy8de Ffsake Eubank admitted early on after he won the world title he was not interested in the glory,just the money, defending his world title which he did successfully for several years after taking the title from Benn.He did make some good competitive fights but only against other domestic opponents.There was no way Eubank would fight the likes of Toney or Jones.He wasnt interested.
Your 'Fick' as 2 short planks of wood......ok
@MrAnthropophagy Ye Jones weighed up the risks vs rewards and thought it wasn't worth it, I still think Jones would have probably got the UD and it would have been an amazing fight shame it didn't happen, would have loved to have seen Eubank and Benn take on some other greats as well like Kalambay, McCallum, Hopkins and Toney, not saying they would have won but would have been great fights.
Benn then would of had a chance with anybody and Eubank. Would of liked to of seen them in with Toney..Nobody ducked really because Mclellan was as good as anybody including Toney.
I simply cannot help but adore James "Ya mama`s ass" Toney.
Toney would have smashed them both.
@Daniel Daniels Smashed them both?? Nah.Beat them on points.
@@brianmorecombe2726 you must be british
On that night,James Nathaniel Toney, REALLY would have beaten both Eubank and Nigel Benn on the same night...
Look at the fear in both Benn and Eubank eyes.. Palpable.
Stop talking rubbish
@@vantheman1244 English bum
@@chinchecker464 it's true. I was watching live that night 🌃 They were not on his level. They were intimidated. Eubanks later confessed he had no intention taking on that animal and to do so was considered suicide
& they proved Tony right by avoiding him lol
Dam AKHI u here to keep it up 👍🏼
Go away and make another video about Fury "cheating" against Wilder, clown
@@mr.b9613 tell fury find his nuts and stop ducking usyk
Akhi researching old boxing vids ,, keeping up with the all round knowledge .
when was this?
Toney definitely was that man in the ring.....great fighter!
James is so raw!!!! Love it!!
goat james toney best ever
Jerry God IMO, RJJ was better at MW.
Jerry God how so. Lost to Roy Jones Jr
@bendym4n123 From Ali Beating Up Cooper TWICE LOL to Tyson Beating UP Bruno TWICE to Mayweather Beating UP Ricky Hatton American "all they know how to do is wing there fists." Yep! Upside those those British heads lmao!
and look at us now though
@DMo86 Mcclelan was brain damaged, don’t sugarcoat it, Mcclelan would kill benn if he was healthy. Mcclelan is a better fighter than benn, if he was healthy, or even just had a competent ref, benn would of been counted out in the first. Benn cheated badly in that fight.
@superdan1875, what? Super-Middleweight was Toney's best weight, he wasn't 'shit' there at all. Have you even watched him fight? He struggled down at 160 lb, but when he stepped up he was imperious until he ran in to Jones. But the Jones of 1994 would have beaten any Super-Middleweight before or since. Toney would have beat both Benn and Eubank - watch him versus Barkley and Williams at 168 lb. And when did Eubank ever 'smash' any world class opponent?
Let’s have some parliamentary procedure here
Priceless 🥊🥊
WBC = We Be Crooks
Did Any1 notice micky rouke
James Toney had health isues with glands and gaining waight and not inuff testosteron.But one of the most talented fighters ever.Could fight against inside and outside fighter.At his prime health like her ,he would be way to much for those guys and for Callzaghi not to forget him.Prime Eubank maybe has that crazy power in right hand but he must have space to throw while Tony would hold to inside.Would be crazy fight.
Tony would of beat them both koed benn probably 12 with Eubank wins both me thinks
im a brit but gotto accept they would not go near toney. Tyson fury said they are what you call brittish world champs the protected kind lennox was the real deal he went after all the belts not just a belt to hijack a division with no intentions of unifications
Up to the point Toney fought Roy Jones he did look quite good. but then Jones took him to the cleaners. I reckon both Brits would beat James Toney particulary Nigel Benn because he loved fighting cocky Americans
love benn and eubank but they were domestic champions really
James toney would have beaten benn and eubank so easily it would have been laughable.. look how rattled they were in a different continent to him
There's no fighters in England they all bums 😂proper funny
James toney would of opened up a serious can on them,, style wise eubank would of had the better chance,, benn was juiced when he fought the G-MAN..
He would definitely beat them on the same night,they were good fighters but always 2nd division!
James Toney and Mickey Wouk ladies and gentlemen
Benn would throw himself in that pullshoulder counter and landed sleeping on canvas.Eubank good God knows,if he doesnt get burned by that right from inside he would go points but Toney would out work him.To slick and difficult to hit.But if Eubank lands specially in the MW,could knock him out.
Benn and Eubank wouldn't be able to touch Toney.
James, Chris, Nigel....real Men.
@superdan1875, if only boxing worked that way and was that simple. Any relentless pressure slugger like Benn is always liable to score early knockouts - Toney was more of a technician, a slow burner. Styles make fights. Foreman battered Norton & Frazier, whereas Ali struggled with them. But what happened when Foreman fought Ali? There's no way Toney gets outboxed by either Benn or Eubank, much as I love the pair of them.
Wbc we be crooks lmao
Nothings changed, neither of them fought him, nor Roy jones, Hopkins, Benn at least went over pond but eubank fought who? Aside from euro level brits and European nobodies 🙄
Lol toney was just born a knob!!
Never seen james looks so young and he is a defensive master! But eubanks is a Beast period hands down 🥊🥊🥊
If they didnt duck eachother then why wouldthey duck a man who cant punch as hard as them benn fights mcclellan n people on here are saying he was scared of toney hahaha ridiculous.
@LVSWTZ calm down boyo american boxers could do with a little skill and dignity, all they know how to do is wing there fists.
I wouldn't be surprised if tyson fury in his younger days was inspired by this.
@EmeraldIsleStar, nope, not comparing their styles or saying they're similar, just highlighting that styes make fights. People keep banging on about how Benn beat Barkley in 1 whereas it took Toney 9. I was simply demonstrating that it has no relevance.
“I am the best” Brilliant James Toney
First time a fighter intimated two fighters via satellite.
@battau999 i think ali's comment after 1 of the bouts though was that he was hit so hard even his ancestors in africa felt it, and from watchin videos of both fights they looked pretty close to me
@AlexiusMoore whatever it was (and it would've been a good amount) Jones ducked him. Benn didnt care hugely about money, he fought for pride.
tony = mr t benn did`t give a shit about him
'wbc stands we be crooks' i guess he was referring to don king....
They are crooks.The wbc is shit.They have CAnelo atnd are putting him against a cruiserweight.Its ridiculous.They stopped Whyte his chance to fight Wilder despite being their mandatory for two years.
lol benn was a warrior he would have put up a fight
@judopathoftruth no, Jones bottled it. Although an excellent fighter Jones was very 'managed'.
Good fun 🤩
I don't think toney hit harder than the g man and look what happened to him eubank did the same thing to Watson when you call these fighters bums remember they left there opponents in a vegitive state toney just knocked people out these guys especially Benn had hearts of steel poor g man and Watson had to learn that the hard way there is a saying the one who shouts the most is the one who is afraid
@joe blanco he was having chin issues? Mate are you serious he stood toe to toe with Julian Jackson the biggest hitter in the devision at that time and knocked him out for a second time Geralds problem was he had no stamina and his fights never went past 3 rounds and the one time he had to go the distance he fell at the first hurdle James toney wouldnt last with Gerald and Roy Jones jnr wouldn't even face McClellan as a professional it's sad but true mate McClellan met someone who wanted the fight more than him it's boxing it happens
@joe blanco toney was tough mate but he couldn't beat Roy Jones jnr and Roy Jones wouldn't face McClellan you do the math mate and work it out i don't think James toney could have beaten Julian Jackson but McClellan did mate
@joe blanco that doesn't mean anything mate Oscar deya hoya lost to mosley twice do we think that he's a bad boxer because he lost twice to the same guy?
hatton would have won by decision. i cant wait til mayweather stops running for pacman and just get his ass handed to him
Youre a goofball
@@CasualMMAFan Mayweather did shit himself fighting Pacquaio until Marquez kayod him.Pac kayod Hatton in 2 rds when it took Mayweather about 10,no wonder Mayweather bottled it.
Lights out!!!
dey all bums lol
Toney ducked McClellan, Benn beat McClellan (sad story though), Eubank beat Benn, so I guess either of them could have beaten James Toney...
he fought a prime roy jones jr why would he duck mcklellan
@@1man1bike1road lol... that fool, he sparred with Mcklellan at Kronk and there is footage of it here on youtube
Toney would have crushed McLellan
Mcclelan was brain damaged, don’t sugarcoat it, Mcclelan would kill benn if he was healthy. Also, toney didnt duck Mcclelan, he actually called him out multiple times, the fight was almost made but Toney fought Jones instead and lost.
@@mr.b9613 Mcclelan dropped toney with a body shot in sparring according to the kronk gym.
if it was before the watson fight Eubank would have battered toney
Toney had color and made this not be boring af. Interviewer asks what eubanks had to say
James toney: I'm the best.
Lmao.
😭
Was this just before Roy Jones handed Toney his arse?
Roy isn't british
Still think Toney would’ve got hurt badly by Nigel Benn.
James Toney vs Roy Jones was the most one sided fight ever. Also Benn beat Mclennan and he was far better than James Toney
Mcclelan was brain damaged, don’t sugarcoat it, Mcclelan would kill benn if he was healthy. Also, toney didnt duck Mcclelan, he actually called him out multiple times, the fight was almost made but Toney fought Jones instead and lost.
My two favourites are Mcclelan and Toney, but I would say Toneys style is hard to manage for Mcclelan, we will never know though, Mcclelan never even reached his prime.
@parallsuns Thats why i`d put Benn as Toneys toughest opponent.He wouldnt have got kayod like Micheal Nunn,Toney would have to dig deep against Benn like his fight with McCalum.
Benn and Eubanks would have taken this punk, Eubanks is my man though pure gentleman and a fuckin good fighter
@wildboymusicuk yeah and they're scared of him too!
Toney was the main man but note how all 3 carry themselves. Neither is afraid of the others and sees the others as their rivals. That's what's missing today.
Nigel benn would of flattened that clown 9 rounds it took him to get rid of a past it barkley n benn done a prime barkley in 1 n eubank would of done what roy jones did to toney n just spanked him
come off it Watson smashed him hows he gonna beat toney
Eubank & Benn knew not to fight james toney
