    With his back to the ropes, James Toney slips and weaves punches while landing accurate counter blows.

    I have to do an article on this fight. Toney was sublime.

    Love his technique, James Toney vs Mike McMallum 1 - was one of the best "boxing" matches I ever saw.

    His best performance, IMO.

    James was something else when he was on form.

    I remember watching this fight live in '93 with my Frat. Buddies. They knew I was a boxing expert, so they asked me who I liked. I said, Toney, easily. They were like, "But Barkley beat Hearns twice." I said it doesn't matter. Styles make fights. Barkley was simply made to order for Toney.

    Shame he was drained against Roy.

    Barkley was a masterful win.

    I know you rate James as the GOAT @ SMW. How does that Toney fare against the RJJ that schooled him?

    I think it's a VERY close fight, personally.

    RJJ at 168 is always going to be a tough matchup for Toney style wise but it's hard to see this toney outboxed by anyone but id probably still lean towards a jones SD

    Toney's best perfomance, he looked so confident and smooth against a big dangerous puncher it's unbelievable
