        No but he would have a better end record than Toney.

        Toney as better Prime but infinately worse either side of it.

Everybody else will then say that Joe fought nothing but bums then exposed Lacy as a bum, then beat Hopkins by controversial decision and beat Roy's corpse. They will go back and forth after that.
            well toney only wins this poll on resume if they ever fought calaghe would win.

                they where flash knockdowns and power is the last thing ot leave a fighter remember

                  calzaghe is also the bigger puncher with a 69 percent ko ratio to toney's measly 52 percent.

                  jones schooled toney and calzaghe schooled jones.

                  don't think we need anymore evidence. case closed.
                  undefeated records mean ****, look at the names.

                  and toney hit hard, its just he couldent really bring his power up to CW and HW, and he is in his 40's now, its hard to KO guys as you get older, especally if your a former SMW fighting HW's

                  but i asume your post was sarcastic.

                    calzaghe wouldent beat nunn or maccallum, watch those guys fight and u'll see what im saying, nor would he beat a prime roy jones, or jirov and holyfield (let alone stop holy).

                      Technically Toney was the better fighter, as far as achievements go I think it depends on what you like more, a long reign in 1 division and being recognized as the man in 2 divisions or erratic runs in multiple weight divisions fighting and beating arguably better fighters.
