Marquez does have a mighty fine pair of legs and his recovery skills are great. James Toney doesnt have as fine a pair of legs as Marquez but he has the most incredible chin that I can think of in modern boxing. Tough as granite.
interesting u mention james toney im also a big fan of his as well. i believe his only knockdowns were more so due to him being unbalanced.

what do u make of him as of right now tho? is he done? or could he still make noise in the HW division?
Actually, I was thinking about Toney just this afternoon. I know a few weeks back he was talking about stirring up the division again but since then Ive heard nothing. Of course, I love Toney...apart from Calzaghe and Barrera he is probably my favourite fighter of recent times. I find it hard to imagine him doing that much now. Its almost like he got old against Peter the second time out and apparently he didnt look good against Batchelder.

Its a shame really. Toney should have got the nod against Peter the first time out, picked up a belt and then retired but it hasnt gone like that and that has probably affected Toney.

I wish him all the best if he comes back, but it will be so hard now he is close to 40 and hasnt been in good shape for a very long time.
