    he's an ATG talent...not convinced he has an ATG resume though, it's borderline.

    And the drugs thing absolutely ****ing matters despite what anybody says

    I voted yes, but assumed you meant at competitive eating.

    No. He had a good 3 year run despite some questionable decisions going his way, didn't do jack **** for 10 years, then beat Jirov, then went on a 10 year steroid binge.

    Hell no.

    If Toney is an ATG, than there are over a hundred ATG's out there.

    You're going to get a lot of **** for this, but it's definitely arguable. McCallum x2, Nunn, Holyfield, Barkley, Jirov, Williams, Johnson, etc....then throw in his heavyweight success. Surely an ATG.
