I'm not picking toney to win, but he def had better versions of himself on different nights. Much like Duran did. You are deliberately being biased. I would have loved to have seen toney that fought Nunn vs Jones. Toney was going for a title that night, he was in shape.Comment

- - I'd say Montell Griffin who holds 2 wins over Toney is also better than Poppy as was Virgil Hill. Maybe McCallum too. Then Poppy.Comment

well the lower the weight the more drained he was. Can anyone imagine toney making 160? It's hard to believe he was there in the first place.

He was coming at Roy all night, in shape. Give it up. He didn't win a single minute of that fight.Comment

If they had met again when older and BOTH slower I think Toney by decision. I think in the end he was actually the better boxer/fighter.
Their styles didn't match up well (for a great fight to break out) and they spent more time looking for opportunities than capitalizing on them. But I think your right I think Jones won every minute --- each (limited; careful) exchange went Jones' way. Never seemed to be a time when Toney got the best of an exchange.
One of those fights that needed to go 45 rounds if we're going to actually know who was the better man. But they stopped doing that.Comment

This is the issue with you internet Toney fans, you live in a total fantasy world.
The the lower the weight the more drained he was you say, when his 3 best wins on paper were at 160 lbs…Explain that genius.
Also, Toney looked like garbage against Nunn. He was dominated for the large majority of the fight. Only because he pulled out the KO out of no where does he become “not drained” or somehow a different fighter. Had it gone to the decision and be lost wide on the card, all of you in fantasy land would deem him “drained.”
There is literally not a single difference between Toney that fought Nunn and Toney that fought Roy Jones. Other than he had to cut LESS weight to fight Jones.

You just said “the lower the weight the more drained he was” and then used his fight with Micheal Nunn as an example….Which was his lowest weight

I know that he had some trouble in his early title reign but he just became amazing.
Was he the best ever? Not in my opinion.
Why can't you just except that James Toney was an exceptional fighter.
