    Who's to say he wasn't? he just likes food, doesn't mean he didn't train hard.

    :good
    speaking of which...anyone see chauncy welliver's conditioning for the Williams fight today?
    meatloaf's titties in 'fight club' weren't as bad as chauncy's - 137 kg!

    Seeing as boxing has weight classes and he's fought in 5 of them, it isn't all that important.

    We saw him at his best at a Middleweight and Super Middleweight, how good was he? excellent, but not as good as Roy Jones (who was?). Case closed.

    you couldn't be more wrong
    eating is a very important part of oiling the machine

    i'm sure there's a lot of oil in Toney's gut. Permanent bulk since 92.

    yeah, but when he draws in a breath, he doesn't feel it clean right down to the pit of his stomach ;)

    But honestly I think he smokes everyone else at 160-175

    He would have held a title at 175 pounds for a few years.

    Well, even at Wellivers best, he was still obese.

    Toney went up to HW and still never got dropped or stopped.

    People think just because guys like Manny and Floyd go through 6-8 weight-classes, it's nothing. Wrong! Toney was in against the biggest punchers walking the earth... For a MW, that is phenomenal!

    Toney, when it came to PURE Boxing ability, was light years ahead of Roy. Any purist will tell you that.

    the problem is that fighters like roy force you to throw out the manual
    his natural ability was just insane
