My perfect hw:

Toney's defense is very poor against fast guys who circles him, because his footwork was never the best in this dicipline. Ali for exampe would rip him apart.
His counterpunching often relied on taking a shot to the back,rip,shoulder instead of evading.
I take Mayweather in this part, their defense style is similar but pretty boy got the better feet.

i think as far as body build goes, lennox lewis early-mid career was a great specimen. broad shoulders, strong base, w/ a trim waistline. lots of guys who are that tall just don't have the frame to naturally hold that much weight, they either look too bulky or just flabby. example, shannon briggs is just about the same height as lewis, but even when he weighed in at a relatively low 230lbs, the guy looked over-muscled. all the way up to 238 for the mccall fight, lewis still looked lean, cut, and well-proportioned.

id take roy jones with tex cobb chin over any man that ever lived

[Fighting Cougar]

And Mayweather jr's. chinchilla trunks even though he's not a heavyweight.

[Verstyle]
