Excellent fights...I also really like the Nunn fight for the nature of the win. The Jirov fight is edge of the toes stuff....
Toney's been in so many fights, quite remarkable in this day and age...

ye they were awesome fights. i advise you to buy his career set from ebay!
He has the same style against all his opponents but he fights with a different tactic in all his fights, Where as frazier, tyson or nigel benn had the same style in all their fights- seek and destroy!
Against Charles williams he showed his counterpunching ability in-fighting! And also one punch knockout power!
Against Mcallum he showed his Brilliant long range counterpunching boxing ability. its on another level...the speed the power...the skill!
Against a dangerous fighter like iran barkely ( a samuel peters of the super middle weight division- IMO more skilled.) Here Toney showed his amazing counterpunching, dazzling combos. man you gotta watch this fight. his defense is shockingly good!
If you watch them fights ^^^^ you will know why i say this guy had the ability to have beaten anyone in the history of the sport....his skill level is untouchable, and he has a Granite Chin To back it up!

Although Evander was shot in the fight, Toney vs Holyfield is good just as a showcase of Toneys silky defensive skills
Re: What are James Toney's best fights?
I think he peaked at 168lbs (Barkley, Thornton, Littles and Williams)
Re: What are James Toney's best fights?
Here's a couple of clips for ya....I wish the one against Saul Montana was there but...anyway...these are the best I can find right at the moment..

Re: What are James Toney's best fights?
Prince Charles Williams-some people don't like this one, total inside fight, the crowd booed through most of it
Nunn
McCallum 1
Jirov-Best of them all IMO, as far as an action fight goes
Barkley fight was too onesided to be called a really great fight IMO
Re: What are James Toney's best fights?
CC's all around.man this guy was good! If he was not so weight drained against RJJ,you guys think he would have won? I certainly think he would have performed better,I mean watching these fights and that fight,he seems slower almost lazy or was that RJJ's speed making him look like that?
Re: What are James Toney's best fights?
Toney ditched about 60 lbs in 2 weeks. left him flat, never understood that, all that time to train and he dries out at the last minute to make weight for the biggest fight of is career ? go figure CC back in 24
