Michael Nunn no doubt #1. P4P #1 guy who looked pretty damned invincible at the time and Toney outlasted him and blew him off the map with two big hooks. It put Toney on the map.

Jirov is #2. Jirov was a monster at Cruiser and everyone and their mother avoided him. This fight put Toney back on the map and rejuvenated his career.

#3 would be Ruiz but many ****ers won't count that so I'd say #3 is either McCallum 2 or Charles Williams. The Williams fight put Toney at the top of many peoples p4p list and showed everyone that he was an all-time great in the making.

He's alot of good ones thats forsure.

Nunn and McCallum were both top 10 p4p fighters when he beat them, but I would say his best win was against Jirov. Jirov was an undeafeated World Champion, Olympic Gold Medalist(Most Outstanding fighter at the 1996 games).

Jirov was bigger, stronger, younger, faster and Toney put on one of the most amazing counterpunching clinics ever seen in a boxing ring. People forget how good Jirov was before that fight and just Toney ruined him.

I noticed

Its hard though cos when he was middle he beat quality fighters, but then he also got a couple of gift decisions and lately he's also beaten a name or two.
I liked his wins against Barkley and Williams too, actually all of them i'm a big Toney fan

But on the whole I'd say McCallum was the best fighter he has faced

That would be my exact list aswell. Although I did enjoy his fight with Evander.. Toney was dropping bombs on Holyfield

That was his greatest win without a doubt, but probably not his best. Let's not forget that Nunn was boxing his head off before getting caught

Nunn was never #1 p4p. Back in the early 90's Pernell Whitaker and JC Chavez for 1 and 2 for some years.
