James Toney is one of those fighters whose career is hard to assess, how do you personally rate him?
even at his peak, toney was :
- drawing with sanderline williams
- getting a gift decision against dave tiberi
- winning life and death split decisions against sosa and johnson
- getting his head boxed off by jones
- losing twice to griffin
- losing to thadzi
then you have his best win versus nunn, where he came from way behind for a late knockout win
2 very close fights with an over the hill mccallum
a good performance against barkley who had previously lost to a shot roberto duran at middleweight, and lost to nigel benn in 1 round
a good win against jirov but who has jirov actually ever beat of note?
then theres the fact he has twice been found guilty of taking banned anabolic steroids which significantly damages toneys reputation.
do you think toney gets overated today, all things considered?
