What do you guys think.I dont believe hes an all-time great.To rise that many weight classes and be competitive in every one of em is really impressive.I think he just suffered a little by bad training habits and balooning.He could have been an all-time legend in my eyes.

I think your sig is ridiculous. Do you realize how fruity is to brag that you know another man and hang out with him? That's as girly as it gets.Originally posted by Malignaggi1What do you guys think.
And as far as Toney he's definitely an all time great. He's still on the verge of capturing his 4th major title, and when he does it'll be undebateable. As for now he's beat the best fighter in two different divisions (Nunn, Jirov), and unquestionably one of the hardest chinned, highly skilled fighters in boxing history.Comment

The guy has all time great talent, but he reminds me of all the other "naturally" talented athletes that take their physical and mental gifts for granted...they think they don't have to get into top shape to compete because they can still win, ex: SHAQ is like thisComment

Thats an all time great to me...
Not to mention he has nearly 80 fights(old school), and he beat some very good opponents...Last edited by Truth; 09-04-2006, 05:08 PM.Comment

all time great skills, but not all time great accomplishments... stack up what he's done against nard, leonard, ali, duran, louis and SRR and he comes up short, but thats not insulting when you look at who you're comparing him to...Comment
