    Do you guys rate it highly or do you guys think that it came against a Holyfield who was past his prime and shot?

    Evander's shoulder was ****ed and couldn't throw a jab.
    It wasn't only a question of age - he found his second wind (actually his seventh wind) after the Donald fight.

    Good win for a debuting heavyweight. It somehow made people belief that Toney could compete with Vitali Klitschko in 2005.

    I always thought James would have made the Klitchko fights interesting, especially the Vlad. fight. James could have taken enough to hang in there and maybe countered Vlad and hurt him.

    Holyfield had more for that fight than people want to admit and was favored. His shoulder wasn't all that bad at the time. It was a very good win for Toney.
