    it's a matter of preference but he's gotta be one of the most elegant fighters of all time. he's got some stiff competition from the 90s (whitaker, kalambay, canizales) but only floyd from this era. yep, he is definitely top 3. toney had the coolest swagger ever.

    They don't call Niko "Sugar" for nothing. Twice as sweet as Robinson and Leonard combined and 104 times as sweet as Shane, no offense or homo.

    Everytime I see a Toney highlight reel, the more Im convinced that the GOAT fighter is RJJ in his prime. Just because he toyed with prime Toney.

    Resume, resume, resume. Hoodee beat to rival a prime Bergeron?

    pootie tang isn't even relevant to this discussion and valuev is as rigid as it gets

    SNV may have several feature films on his side, but has he ever made a song with no words and no beat? Has he?

    Well, that's a fine distinction but can Pootie's songs rival the rap-mastership of SNV songs?

    (technically I count this as much of an SNV song as an RJJ song)
