    He hasn't exactly been punching holes in people at heavyweight.

    He hasn't exactly been winning though either.

      thats my point he was never a puncher in the 1st place

      that is maybe why Guzman is struggling now the nickname means nothing as the people u fight on the way up are usually lesser fighter's with less punch resistence

        Uhh... Toney was a pretty heavy puncher at 160 and 168.

          so I take it you would rather get hit by a body builder then someone who is razor thin like a twig?

            Toney is not a big puncher by any strecth not when the competition starts to get stronger anyway & the fighters are more durable

              If I was a middleweight... I would much rather get hit by a minimumweight who bodybuilt his way to 160 than by a natural middleweight.

                    I'd rather get hit by Arnold Schwarzenegger than Kelly Pavlik, absolutely.

                      What about a WW like Tito or a natural MW like Joppy ,Hopkins was probably a LHW & Tito hit harder than both of them
