One of the best fighters of ANY generation. We were lucky to have seen him in our time.
Also, I love his WWF (WWE) type interviews. He's said some funny stuff over the years.
i gotta say definatly, the man will fight anybody, dont get all caught up in the james toney hw era, toney was and still is one of the best pure boxers in the world, regardless of his division. toney as a mw was just simply amazing, speed, power, timing, and just one of the best boxing minds since pep. toney is a shoe in for the hof
Of course hes an all time great. His resume speaks for itself. Nunn, Jirov, McCallum, Ruiz, Sosa, Williams and a bunch of others. Hes a 4 division champion and will be a first ballet hall of famer.
