    What Are James Toney's 10 Best Fights?

    I would appreciate if people would make some lists. I want to order some Toney fights on DVD this summer, so I thought my boxingscene comrades could help me out...

      My 10 favorites:

      Toney/Jirov
      Toney/Nunn
      Toney/Williams
      Toney/McCallum II
      Toney/Barkley
      Toney/Littles
      Toney/Johnson
      Toney/Ruiz
      Toney/Jones Jr. (bad loss for JT but still a big time fight)
      Toney/Holyfield (didn't like it because Holychamp was an all-time fav of mine, but it was still very memorable)

        I think his best and most under-rated win came against undefeated Tim Littles.

              Certainly not his best performance, Nunn was a coke head by then and was putting in poor performances (Barkley, Starling) yet Nunn was schooling Toney even easier than Jones Jr was.

                I think Toneys best performances were against Charles Williams, Jirov, and Iran Barkley. He made Barkley look like an amateur, he carved up Williams with his natural abilities, and he dissected a monster in Jirov.

                Nunn was a good win because he was regarded as the top fighter in the sport at the time. Toney turned that fight right around after being badly outboxed and started landing great right hands and left hooks. That fight makes me happy every time I watch it because I didn't like Nunn, though I knew he was very talented.

                  Lets not go there.

                  That'a disgrace to our favorite fighter all time.
