he had it all over rahman when rahman bitched out......toney was doing what he does best, slipping, bobbing and countering with hard shots, he even had hasim wobbled a few times....the guy started at middleweight, hes now fat and old at 220+ pounds and he can hang with and out fight natural heavyweights....what a boxer

he called klitschko a bum LOL -
Toney is without an all time great. He is a fantastic fighter who has had a phenomenal career. He may have gone on a little too long now but it cannot take away from his past achievements.Comment

If Toney fights and beats someone like Arreola I would have to have Toney in the top 20 ATG...Comment
-
he was already an ATG. no question about it.Comment
-
Top 20 may be a little too high, but it wouldn't be too far off the mark either. His skills, longevity, resume and accomplishments truly are spectacular.Comment

top 20 ATG is a bit far.....im not sure as to where exactly he would place on a list.....
failed to use his skills correctly
he won titles in 3 weight classes and beat guys like nunn, mccallum, jirov, holyfield, rahman etc....
who has a better record on paper than toney??? 80 fights?? 71 wins 6 losses a few draws i think and the no contest agaisnt ruiz.....
who else fights that often?
he fought 26 times in his first 2 years, he would make guys like robinson etc proud
but i suppose you are one of the people that think calzaghe is a better fighter than james toney right? oh and the reason winning titles in multiple weight classes is such a huge achievment is that it often means going up against naturally bigger guys and that means you need great skills....Comment

toney belongs in the commentators booth/table on HBO or on showtime...if he can keep his mouth clean and complete sentences...people will watch fights just to see his colorful commentary..he can make mundane fights fun...
o yeah he is no question an atg...last of a dying breed for realComment

Yeah no question. Great skills, great fighter, great resume, great accomplishments, great record = ATG.top 20 ATG is a bit far.....im not sure as to where exactly he would place on a list.....

IMO, and admitedly it is only my opinion, to place Joe above Toney as far as ATG status is concerned would be ludicrous.Comment
