I probably should of put toney down brother good shout 2 weight WBO champion Collins once trained in the same gym and said he witnessed Toney drinking cola between rounds in sparring. If his dedication matched his talent? He would certainly be right up with the very elite all time
Yes exactly, i included him because he was fat and lazy yet he still got so far in his career. Never knocked out despite fighting some hard hitters at HW
Haha, I think I never included him because I think of how skilled he was, rather than natural speed and agility James was a beast for sure man. If only he kept the hunger in boxing rather than kfc lol Like you say he traded punches with monsters like big Sam Peter and was never stopped. Not bad for a former mw Lights out baby
Depends what you mean. Athletically gifted? Roy Jones + Manny Pacquiao Boxing skill talent? James Toney
El Radar You posted the same thread before.... https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/naturally-talented-fighters.526633/
btw, all times most natural fighter has to be or srr or joe louis. What they did, had not been done before, and they had nothing/nobody to learnt it from. Pure natural. There is a jump in quality before and after those 2 fighters.
