      I used to be a big fan but not really anymore, after his repeated positive drug tests and how fat he'd show up for important fights.

      I find a lot of his fights beautiful to watch however.

          He is one of my favorites...I love how he fights....he was always entertaining. he had awesome shoulder rolling defense, and could knock people out. Toney vs jirov round 12 was the most exciting round i have ever seen in my life.

              he does have skills and has been around for a long time and he is always ready for a challenge but he shouldnt get a pass for cheating he has been caught so this is not speculation

                He's a great fighter but I don't really like his personality. I'll admit, though, he's funny sometimes.

                  Prime Toney was one of my favourite fighters when he was on form. His fight game was wicked. Complacency stopped him from being a true great. He talks too much **** as well, sometimes funny, other times plain ******ed.
