Toney/Jirov. Just a high intensity brawl between the former Cruiserweight king and one of my favorite fighters of all-time. I have seen great, older fighters fold under the type of pressure Jirov was putting on Toney, but James showed why he is one of the best natural fighters the game has ever seen. Just a brilliant display of counter punching and infighting. Both men fought their asses off and hit each other with everything they had.
The 12th round of that fight will always be memorable. One of the greatest final rounds of a fight in the history of the sport. I doubt we'll ever see Manny Steward that animated again.
