Who remembers this masterful performance by James "Lights Out" Toney http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dOqWPoR76mI :bbb
Was a great fight! Remeber it watching it a couple of years ago and I was really supried of how well Toney fought in that fight.
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!
Umm no, not even close. He lost to an alcoholic moorer and my boy "baby" Joe Mesi. Solid fighter but not elite like wlad
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
