Good match up sir! James Toney had great ruing skills and was a very good defensive fighter with marvelous counter punching skills. He also had good punching power and a steel chin. When he was serious and in shape, he was very hard to beat. Pinklon Thomas was a really good fighter too with good hand speed and power and fought some of the very best of his era though he always seemed to lose the career making fights against the big time opponents. Here is a little rundown of each fighter:

James Toney

Best wins: TKO9 Holyfield, UD12 McCallum

Pinklon Thomas

Best wins: TKO8 Weaver, WMD12 Witherspoon

The Fight

Early in the fight Thomas would be the aggressor but wouldn't land any real significant punches as Toney ;looks for an opening in his defense. Around the 7th round Toney would have started landing some really good counter righthands and would wobble Thomas with a few of these well timed shots. In round 8 Toney would land a big bomb after a brief exchange sending Thomas down for the count.

James Toney KO8

Thomas looked good against Weaver but lost in his very next title defense against Trevor Berbick. He was a trial horse fighter after that, losing one-sided fights to Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Riddick Bowe and Tommy Morrison. For all intents and purposes, Pinklon was a solid, durable journeyman, capable of giving the division's elite a couple of rounds before folding in the later rounds by TKO stoppage. Toney out-boxes, out-slicks Pinklon Thomas in a one-sided fight, stopping Thomas by an eight round TKO.

I like James Toney in this one, Thomas was a slick boxer, but so was James, and James had a chin like a fire hydrant.

I have to go with James Toney in this fight. I liked him more than Thomas when considering their careers.
