His record is very deceiving, i posted 17 gimme wins he got in the middle of his career all the way until he moved up to cruiser/heavyweight. Toney was a great fighter but i am just pointing out how no one really talks about how padded his 71 wins are.

he fell into espn2 status during that time period......thats when his ****suckers say roy jones ducked a rematch but in reality he was just a washed up fighter until the jirov fight.....

Guy fought 80 times. It's hard to do that without a bunch of padding nowadays.

[boxasmash]

absolutely, he fought a heck of a mount of bums.

[MANGLER]

Toney got a good res, but no doubt he's faced his share of softies.

[keepthemhandsup]

he has a padded record just like every other boxer

yet you forget to mention he fought

micheal nunn
mike muccluuam
iran barkly
roy jones
montel griffin
evander holyfeild
john luiz
sam peter
and haiasm raham

and out of all them one was out of prime (evander) and few aren't true elite fighter (griffn luiz and peter) but the rest was top class opponets

He doesn't have a padded record. No one can fight more than fifty fights without having a bunch of chumps of there. Every fighter that has ever fought has these guys on them, some more, some less. Toney has more of these guys, but also a lot more great champs than most as well. He has a really good record and it is not padded.

Regardless of bums or not, he faced a ****load of human beings and defeated them. thats impressive in my eyes.

He also fought and beat Jirov when EVERYONE was afraid of the guy at cruiser.

let's remember that everyone has fought sorties & he's had some favorable decisions in his favor as well as him being robbed.not many boxers fight 80 times.he was 44-0 until he lost to jones & he couldn't make weight barely & it's a well known storey he was fed intervenusly for 3 weeks before the fight just to make weight.in my eyes he should have been at least a cruiserweight.he was only the 2nd guy to knockout Holyfield,how about that jirov fight but my favorite toney moment was his title defence vs tim littles.he was undefeated still & a littles punch caused such a bad cut(hit the artery)it was pumping blood.the referee(kudos to him for giving toney the benefit of being champ)told toney he'd give him one more round & within 30 seconds toney knocked him out.one of the greatest victorys under trying circumstances...he's a legend & so what if he's fat.he's still good enough to beat most heavyweights still.I still think he won the first peter fight.
