I dont believe theres any arguement to say that toney isnt a great of this era...

He fought great quality fighters in barkley, Jones, Nunn ,mcallum was great at the lower weights...
His skill is and was immense ..A great fighter to watch with an incredible personality..
And like all truely great fighters the fact is that when you are that good.. You can only be defeated by yourself..And toney was defeated by his lack of discipline..
The whole Oh nunn was weight drained for the fight thing..Excuses excuses..
Toney was always weight drained.. Especially in his second fight with mcallum before moving up to super mid..He was even weight drained when he fought jones... And is such a bold and undisciplined character that he shut his camp during part of the training for the jones fight..
Now im the one saying its no excuse ..And its not..Jones had toney's number and toney got the job done against nunn no matter what is said..

Toney faded away for a few years at light heavy and Especially saying..Well he lost twice to griffin..
Im another person who disputed those decisions too.. Sure he wasnt in the lime light..But those losses are no reason to diss on him.. Cos many believe they should be two w's!!

And to have come back on the scene the way he did with the foty with jirov..First major title in 9 years and Put on such a show.. And make the wildest of matchups with holyfield That very few would have been able to predict that match would ever be made.. That stuff was incredible..
And even his losses now..Barr the second peter loss.. They have even been disputed..

And to have never been stopped in 79 fights.. Having moved from middleweight to heavyweight and skipping no division inbetween..And fighting that particular level of competition..
And even looking for his last knowdown hasnt been for about 16 years.. Counting the fact that the peter and the jones knockdowns were pretty much slips..
I think thats fair game to say toney has had an incredible rollercoaster career...
Peace
