      Yes. He was undisputed champ in arguably the strongest CW division ever.

      He's right up there.

        Look how Mike Spinks carved up prime Qawi vs Field in hospitalized critical condition after a disputed split against the now tubby Qawi.

        What grade U in?

                  Lots actually.

                  Yeah...no I don't think he would destroy Usyk actually. He never destroyed any top tier fighter in his career it certainly would not start with Usyk.

                    Toney went life and death with Jirov, I have an impossible time imagining him dealing with Usyk let alone destroying him.

                    As far as fantasy fights go Toney has to be one of the most overrated fighters out there. He made a career out of fighting aggressors that would fall in.

                      Forget Jirov, James Toney lost to Dave Tiberi in his prime.

                      Wouldn't agree Toney only fought aggressors who fall in, he fought plenty of slick boxers. He just so happened to look terrible against every last one of them.
