    Haha, damn, Toney - Barkley.. He was made for Toney, but still, most fighters don't look THAT good even in mismatches.

    no of course he wasn't

    a few better just of the top of my mind:
    Sugar Ray Leonard, Roy Jones, Jr., Joe Calzaghe

    SRL was in his prime as a WW, prime Toney would beat the version of SRL that fought up at SMW.

    Roy Jones is the best super middle ever and no one else comes close.

    No doubt James Toney is right up there in the ATG mix.

    God no, not even close. Look at who he fought at super middle. Look at how he was dominated by Jones Jr, look at how few defences he made, look at the **** poor opposition he faced between title defences. I am a Toney Fan but whether it be head to head or based on resume Toney is not even in contention for being the greatest super middle of all time.

    Toney was weight drained and forced into that fight at not 100 percent he wanted to move up in weight because super middle was to big for his frame by then
