    Offff course. Hate his trash talk and disrespectful physique all you want,
    but the man was an absolute picasso in the ring and he accomplished
    enough to warrant entry. Also, just imagine what JT would have accomplished
    with a Bernard Hopkins type work ethic and clean living standard. :yikes

    No, there shouldn't be any room for PED users.

    Seems he gets a free pass on the steroids more so than other boxers...

    Perhaps he should, but not because of his boxing the last few years. Toney of a billion years ago? Perhaps..............

    Toney belongs in the top 50-80 ATG.

    From middleweight to heavyweight . Starting at 157 and fighting big punchers like who weigh 240-250pounds Name me another fighter who has done it.

    Don't confuse the Toney of today who looks he lives at IHOP compared to the brilliant young boxer Toney who without question belongs in the IBHOF.

    True. People make a big deal of small men moving up in weight. That's almost a 100 pound difference fighting real men.
