    Toney, all the way through to and including the Reggie Johnson fight IMO.

    This. He was lightning fast against Johnson from what I remember. Once he fought guys like Glen Kelly and Clinton Woods, there was a visible decrease in his handspeed. It wasn't huge, but he wasn't at his peak as a fighter anymore.

    I would say for all his time at 168.

    He's overrated both H2H and in accomplishments at 175 imo.

    Around the time of the Woods fight, before he stepped up to heavyweight.

    He looked otherworldly.
