      Nunn victory, this put Toney on the map-sure he has had fights where he has been much more dominant and in control but the Nunn victory was absolutely huge!

          Nunn vs Toney is a classic. I loved how Toney KO'd him so bad in front of Nunns hometown fans.

            That's true. If I'm thinking about who he looked the best against in a fight I'd have to go with Jirov (shockingly maybe) and Charles Williams.

            The way Toney rolled and slipped Jirovs punches on the inside and masterfully counterpunched his way to victory in that fight was truely beautiful as far as boxing goes. Toney showed that he is maybe the most pure fighter/boxer of the last 20 years as he didn't have any physical/age experiences in the fight but he could have fought another 8 rounds at the drop of a hat.

            I had Toney winning that fight a lot more clearly than a lot of other people. Toney landed over 400 punches and was punching with exceptional accuracy and efficiency. Jirov was almost throwing just to throw at some times...I think I had it 6-4-1 going into the 12th. Toney was boxing beautifully in the 6th and 12.

              I like the Jirov win, Alot of people don't know how great Jirov really was. Bout toney was able to go in there and just countpunch him with great accuracy, going into the 12th round i had no idea who was winning, until Jirov went down for the 1st time in is undeafeted career.
              2nd is the Nunn fight, he showed alot of heart in that win.

                Upset W's in the other guy's hometown are what legends are made of.....Hagler over Minter, Toney over Nunn, Judah over Spinks
