Really, how good is Toney?

[Nautilus]

Why did everyone say (including me) that he is a very good boxer?


He was outboxed by Rahman, had a close fight with Jirov, had a close fight with Peter, and then lost another fight to Peter.

Toney has NOT performed well against a good boxer in many, many years.

Any way... just a thought.

He used to be very, very, very good, watch the Barkley fight!

well considering he isnt even a natural light heavy he has done alot in his career. I personally thought toney beat peter. The fight iwas watching was toneys heart vs peters stamina. the knock diown was more of being off balance. Toney got fast after he fell down

He clearly is a HOF fighter, but his perfromance in the last few years was not very good.

The Only real problem was .. its 2007... Toney hasn't been GREAT since 1996... Alot of people would not , could not accept that...

no but iam not gonna get in to it. everyone is entitled to there own opion. iam not start argueing over this no point cause done and over with. All in all this is probally a blessing in disguise cause peter is yougn he can probally bring back some fans to boxing.

His name is Iran Barkley, moron.

Toney was actually never a natural middleweight, he had to kill himself to get that low, and had a good run there for awhile, pretty much the last impressive thing he did, besides the Jirov win. He was naturally 200 lbs as a high school athlete.

And the Barkley fight was good, but Barkley was becoming damaged goods by that point. Really his impressive win was against Nunn, and he had some nice defenses, then Jones took him to school, he couldn't deal with Griffin and lost two close fights to him, then just puttered around fighting meaningless fights until he beat Jirov, which was a close fight but an impressive win.
