Beating names like.
Iran Barkley
Michael Nunn
Evander Holyfield
Mike McCallum x2
Tim Littles
Charles William
Doug DeWitt
Merqui Sosa
Reggie Johnson
Vassiliy Jirov
etc
Plus he has had 80+ fights i would say he has a good argument.
Peter wasn't world champ when he fought Toney, he won it later against Maskaev, the Toney fight, both of them were WBC eliminators
Thought for sure he had a title ? oh well but he did really win it against John Ruiz. The steroid thing was overrated IMO, its not like it had any real effect on him
I think it was Toney's highly coveted IBO title that was on the line or some shit
