Toney as lazy he was training he went all the way up to HW and not get knocked out. James defense was very good and subtle. His laziness and lack of activity in fights cost him some fights. He kept on coming over weight or had to cut too much weight.

Great fighter but his laziness got the best of him.

James would school Canelo on how not to get hit. I don't see it the other way around

[YGriffith]

Toney was more defensivly skilled but Canelo was more responsible and kinda consistent.

[Floyd is TBE]

Toney.

Canelo is not a good defensive fighter, notice his skills only manifest against B and C level fighters. Whenever Canelo faces an A level fighter they land whatever they want, they'll have Canelo backing up and pressing his back up against the ropes.

Toney.

Canelo is not a good defensive fighter, notice his skills only manifest against B and C level fighters. Whenever Canelo faces an A level fighter they land whatever they want, they'll have Canelo backing up and pressing his back up against the ropes.

You just described James Toney.

You just described James Toney.

Don't expect smart post about Canelo from a Floyd fangirl.

If Toney had Canelo's dedication and discipline in the gym he would have been almost unbeatable.

[Madison Boxing]

toney would make canelo look like a ****ing bum.

James Toney hands down
