One of the best and most enjoyable things I've ever seen is that effortless inside shoulder roll by Toney that culminated with a shock absorber 6' inch right hand. It was not trained, it was like genetics with him. I love Toney at best, his guile and a swagger that left lesser foes in a fetal position just hoping to stay upright.

He was however and flat out...lazy. He was a master at timing out rounds, slow of foot though his positioning made up for alot of that but he simply could be out hustled and turned. If you sat in the pocket, shame on you but guys who didn't blink and had volume and mobility could bug the shit outta him. He is and was one of the deepest fight minds to come around but he doesn't get a pass on being 'drained at middle' etc etc for lapses. It became a mantra and speaks to the discipline I think he'd lack to beat a Hagler and or Hopkins. Toney already lost to Calzaghe but his name was Tiberi I kid I kid. Hopkins was as every bit an old school cagey gritty pro as a Toney, fact that he's still shot calling at top level speaks for itself.
