    Did it some years ago. It was a hell of a fight and a heck of a performance by Toney.

    Really too bad he had to take anabolic steroids and eat like a f/n pig to fight at HW.

    He woulda been more effective at about 215-225, and without roids.

    He manhandled Holyfield....I was literally in tears watching him destroy one of my favorites. I so was soooooo wanting Holyfield to shut Toney's mouth for him.....and JLOT done the biz on my boy.:verysad

    Defintiely one of the all time great fights.
    It's one of the fights I keep in my archive for my frequent viewing pleasure.

    If Jirov was 6'5", he'd kick Vlad's ****** ass so badly, it would be painful to watch.

    A real Sweet Science Guru Recommended classic match up!

    If I had a list of the top 10 fights I've ever seen, I think this would make the list.

    It was a hell of a war, both guys looked like they were out on their feet more than once during the fight, and it was Toney who finally got the job done.

    Classic fight.

    Love this fight and loved the commentary by Emanuel Steward! Toney should have stayed at cruiserweight!

    Toney might be the only fighter in history to fight two Val Barker trophy winners.

    If toney didn't kill himself to make weight for Roy jones I think could have beaten prime jones

    That alone could have made him a case for the greatest ever

    He definitely had the skills
