      Just from watching this reminds me why Calzaghe never tried to break the US in the 90s - physically prime versions of RJJ, Hopkins and of course Toney. He would have been like a lamb for slaughter.

        The man was P4P#1 and he was overrated. LOL. He didn't get that distinction using catchweights, my man.

        The guy has some of thee most elite skills seen in boxing, but he's overrated.

        Some people.

          it's because he was scared of flying duh. i'm so glad he conquered that fear when they were in their 40's.

            I find it interesting that both Toney and Floyd Mayweather Jr. use the same basic style but they each put their own personal stamp on it.
            Floyd clinches a lot more to prevent counters and uses his elbows a lot. It would be nice to see him stay in the pocket more like Toney without the clinching. Can you imagine how the Hatton fight would've gone if he hadn't held as much?

              Didnt beat Barkley as fast as fast as Benn though, and id like to have seen Toney vs Benn.

              Toney looked pretty average against RJJ as well. Wonder what went wrong there?
