    The Nunn fight puts Toney over. Give Ward credit for dominating every opponent though.

        The fact that Toney did it all in one year holds weight for me too. Man how boxing has changed.

          Toney for me.

          Nunn and McCallum in the same year? Crazy.

          I felt he beat McCallum aswell.

            Yeah, that was one hell of a run in just one year. Ward's got a nice hit list but it took him a couple of years to put it together.

              LMAO

              Toney's one year run beats a 3 year run here easily

                Reggie was no pushover either.

                Awkward big ass Sosa a good win too.

                  Going with Lights Out. His KO over Nunn in Nunn's backyard while trailing on the cards gives him the nod.

                  But Andre had a helluva run in the Super 6, if Dirrell hadnt of b**ched out it would be an even better resume

                    I'd give it to Ward, since he won more convincingly and via domination.

                    People forget, but Toney was on his way to losing that fight to Nunn. Had he not landed that one shot to turn the fight around late in the fight, he was going to lose that fight miserably.
