    hmm

    He lost to Griffin because Griffin was a very skilled fighter in his prime, which is why he gave Roy so many problems in their first fight. Griffin is one of the best 3 lightheavyweights from the last 10 years.

      where on the best HW or best P4P list does he fall?

      HW: in the top 20-30.

      P4P: top 30.

      toneys good for this era, but not really good for history.

          A top form, physically ready Toney would stack up with ANY 160/168/175 fighter throughout the history of the sport.

          In time people will recognize just how good he actually could be at times. His skill level is probably top 10 all time...and thats natural fighting ability and technique.

          A lot of how he should be ranked relies on personal criteria...but theres no denying that he's one of the best fighters of the last 20 years.
