    Has anyone ever checked Toneys chin & hurt him?

    Ok I know about RJJ which was more of a off balance push/punch. I never seen the Montel Griffen or Reggie Johnson knockdowns but from what I understand those were also flash knockdowns. From Jr Middleweight to heavy credit should be given to JT for one of the best chins ever.

      james toney has pound for pound the best chin circa 1990 untill now

      based ! on the fighters hes fought and the divisions hes been in
      i know people are probably like nooo way man wayne mcc all the way
      but could you imagein if he tried to take a punch from a 140 pounder?

      now i will say toneys style of fighting credits his ability to not get hit flush but for the shots he has take man he can take a wollop of a punch without blinking too thats the thing

        I think the best example was his fight with Jirov, Jirov was unstoppable at that time and had Ko'd just about everyone he fought. He was able to hit toney flush with everything he had, and toney took it

          now you cant say "flush" for the fact that only 19 or 20 percent of his punches landed..but he did make contact with toney a few times
          but that fight was more toneys defense working jirovs pressure agianst him then anything

                  Don't hold your breath, even the Toney that fought Rahman could beat Peters.

                    He's never been visibly hurt...that's for sure. I have the Sosa fight and he never looked rocked or stunned at any time to moi.
