I would agree Jirov is the most exciting.
Also - since you mentioned the fight itself - beating Jirov was proof positive that James Toney was an all time great fighter who belongs in the HOF.
The fact that a guy who won his first title at 160 went into the ring against a beast of a natural Cruiser, stood right in front of him all night, and beat him down is still one of the best performances I can recall since I started watching boxing.
That fight - along with the Nunn fight - were master class boxing performances by Toney who broke his stronger, faster opponents down with old fashioned skills.
