But that doesn't get past the fact that I enjoy watching Toney fight and fall asleep watching Floyd. Of course Toney isn't operating on Floyd's level these days, but he's in his mid 40's. He isn't going to to be, but even now he still has just as much output as Floyd and I am mega excited about his fight with Lebedev. I couldn't say the same about Mayweather/Ortiz. Toney is such fun to watch and even an old Toney.

He's been one of my favourites for years and he always will. A legend who ducks nobody.
Hey fair enough, I'm really hopeful Toney can pull it off tomorrow as well and wish I could watch. I really don't get enjoying Toney of late though if Floyd puts you to sleep.. He simply does not have as much output as Mayweather has over the last few years and defensively they are the closest thing to each other in the sport skill wise. I wasn't excited about Mayweather/Ortiz either but it was pretty good action until the end, which I don't blame Mayweather for in the slightest myself.
I would have preferred Mayweather to finish it properly. A bit of a short change ending with the sucker punch.

As for Mr Toney, I think it is also the continued fascination with seeing an older man continue to display slickness, chin and an ability to win. He throws combinations on occasion too which is something Floyd almost never does anymore. His only loss in recent times was that second loss to Peter as Toney clearly won the first fight and Toney is so much smaller than EVERYONE he ever fights. This fight is something new in that regard. Toney is finally in with a man his own size.
