can we please stop hyping c level no defense fighter for the good of they health ??

Please don't put Toney in the same category as Floyd/bhop. Dude was a fighter that used defense as it should be.

What a great answer. The cat stayed in the pocket, deflected and dodged punches then punched moth.erfu.ckers right in their mouth! Toney was great at that and his style was pleasing to hardcore and casual fans alike. Throw in the fact that his sh.it talk was head and shoulder above most and you had the whole package!

Whole package....and a box of twinkies.

Hell even Winky was a better example of exciting, yet defensive minded.

Nice troll attempt, but falls short as you didn't list Broner as a fighter with no denfense. Which would of made it more believable.

Not as good as your 'Garcia is a slick fighter' , 'GGG is a un-skilled brawler' posts.

I agree with you and sweeney, although younger Floyd was a very complete fighter on both the offensive and defensive side. If we're talking about the most aesthetically pleasing defensive style, I think you have to bring up Pernell Whitaker. Sweet Pea embodied the sweet science.
