That weight! I remember he was training for a fight and was at a HOF induction. He was being interviewed and the topic of the HOF menu came up. My man was visibly hurt that he could not partake in the feast. He looked over his shoulder at the table, sucked on his teeth and said maaaaan! Funny as hell.
He's my favorite hw. From flyweight to ya mommas weight , its his world lol. I love it how on war on October 4 he distmantled the great Holyfield. With super middleweight speed combos mixed with a mezmoriing defense. With a few close to headbutts by Evander, but toney knows where to place his head not to get butted. His hands were small compared to Holyfield's frying pan hands. He did a number on holy with confidence brimming from his hw build... Then there was the Rydell Booker fight: toney looked like the closest thing to a prime looking Mike Tyson, muscle bound with a little bit of of a four pack, solid at this weight. I believe he ripped his biceps because he was too muscle bound from lifting weights. He still managed to put a beat down on Rydell Booker. One arm or not, pure heart. Then the heartbreak... In sparring for his bout with big time mccline he ripped his Achilles tendon. He fell on the mat crying his eyes out. He never really got a showcase fight after that. We all know what a great fight of giant versus the giant Slayer would have been. Especially with toney with all his mobility speed and power. Toney had just enough power to keep dudes honest, like I said a super middleweight punch, so he could pop, just enough to gain respect. My favourite hw of all time.
He is a great fighter. But sill an underachiever. With the right discipline, Toney could have become a Top 15 ATG.
