More Impressive Run: Andre Ward Super 6 Or James Toney 1991

[SixFootGiant]

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.

Yeah Nunn was fighting a brilliant fight and winning up until James caught him with that shot. All he had to do was survive 1 and half more rounds and he would've gotten the win

Not miserably, but he would've lost.

Not miserably, but he would've lost.

That fight was almost wipe out for Nunn.

[Cardinal Buck]

I thought Toney would've lost 8-4 or something like not. It wasn't a complete wipeout to me, which is why Toney was breaking him down.

Nah man. Re-watch the fight. Up until Toney landed that punch that hurt Nunn, the fight was a wipe out.

I thought Toney would've lost 8-4 or something like not. It wasn't a complete wipeout to me, which is why Toney was breaking him down.

It was in the 11th at the time of the stoppage.

It was like 8-2, Nunn.

[SPREAD]

Both fighters were unranked, unproven and undefeated going into the years that changed their careers forever. Who's run was more impressive?

James Toney - 1991 Fighter of the Year

Merqui Sosa (18-0)
Alberto Gonzalez (25-7)
Michael Nunn (36-0)
Reggie Johnson (29-1)
Francesco De'llAquila (31-1)
Mike McCallum (42-1) (Ended in a Draw but many felt he won)



Andre Ward Super 6 Run (2009-2011) - 2011 Fighter of the Year

Mikkell Kessler (42-1)
Allen Green (29-1)
Sakio Bika (28-4)
Arthur Abraham (32-2)
Carl Froch (28-1)

Toney, Green had a padded record, Bika is a rugged opponent who comes up short against all top tier fighters, Abraham is one of the most overated fighters ever before the super 6, All good wins with decent prior records but Toney edges it McCallum draw, the Nunn victory and Reggie Johnson tip the scales.

Full credit for dominating Froch without running scared like Dirrell.

Definately Ward! with the competition considered and Ward barely lost a round until he broke his hand against Froch. Now he got Dawson on deck, win, lose or draw Ward gets the utmost respect from me

[Kagami Taiga]

imo mc cullum won that fight by one round. and im a huge toney fan, but its hard for me to see how he won anyways id still go toney.

[Cardinal Buck]

It was in the 11th at the time of the stoppage.

It was like 8-2, Nunn.

so it would've been about 8-4 if they finished the fight.
