    Recommend some fighters for a Toney fan

    I think I can class Toney as a defensive minded counterpuncher, who learnt a lot of the tricks of the trade from old skool guys like Walcott, Moore etc.

    Which other fighters can you recommend to me, that kind of fit the above classification?

    So far I have:
    Bradley (I just wish he wouldnt use his head so much)
    Mayweather (his old fights, dont care for him post Hatton)

      Walcott, Charles, Moore are the three he based himself on, probably Moore a little less than the former two. Oddly enough, unlike Hopkins and Ward (who also come from that school), Toney was one of the cleanest fighters in the game.

        Moore was a great fighter - I like watching his fight with Marcaino, shame he didnt win it
        Locche fights arent easy to come by. Which fights have you watched of his?

          Check out the Cervantes fight at the very least. You'll see point-blank head slips executed with super-human reflexes that no other fighter has ever matched.

            Not sure what to make of Walcott. I Like his fights with Louis, but he tended to hold a lot in his other fights.

            Which Charles fights would you recommend?

            Toney never fouled in his fights, which is one of the reason I like his fights so much

              Can't go wrong with any of the Charles-Walcott bouts.
