    Which is relevant to Toney's resume how???
    Where was JT at his best weight???

      i love all three of them ! although i rate mike mccallum above all three of them as a technician & i rate mike nunn above all three of them in terms of talent

      rjj was my hero, seein himn against vinny paz, seein the virgil hill bodyshot & griffin rematch gave him super status when i was a kid.

      1- rjj
      2- toney/hopkins tied


      all in all

      1- nunn
      2- mccallum
      3- rjj
      4- toney/hopkins tied

      plus you also have the likes of eubank & herol graham who were top talents, & a fleet-footed sharpshooter like kalambay (though he caught graham & mccallum at the right times)

        Roy Jones was the most supremly talented fighter of our time, though.

              The fact that Roy was able to do what he did...virtually WITHOUT a jab...is amazing to me.
              Pernell is definitly up there.
              And obviously nunn deserves a mention, im not trying t discredit him, i just think Roy was much more talented.

                i totally agree that rjj was simply amazin. but just my opinion that pernell made ur cum crystal white, & nunn was the most extremely slick fighter ive seen above the lighter divisions

                meldrick taylor was another guy who amazed me, with his handspeed & combos

                meldrick my fave fighter 2 watch, man

                    Ruiz is similar in size to Ruiz, Ruiz was just in-shape for the RJJ fight.
                    And lets not forget JT was a fat, blubbering 237 pound slob.

                      His best weight was 168.

                      The Barkley, Thornton, Littles and Prince Charles performances were wonderful.
