Toney or Mayweather Jr - Best Counter-puncher

I'd say James makes you pay more with his counter shots, though he may get clipped and grazed with shots while doing so. Floyd rarely gets touched when countering, but his punches generally aren't the heaviest.

 

Both of them are excellent at it, its really tough to say who is better at it, but i will say this, Toney has always looked like a natural in boxing in general always looks comfortable, Floyd looks more calculating.

 

james toney actually counters with the shoulder roll

 

I would say Floyd just off percision. Toney threw more combinations when he countered, and Floyd likes the quick one or two shots. It also depends on who they were fighting.

:good And back in his day Toney knocked you the **** out with the counter right. Truely a thing of beauty!

 

I will say floyd, mainly bc he could counter your mistakes and counter his oppenents as soon as they are off balanced and off guard. One of the few boxers that punishes you for taking a step towards him.

 

Prime Toney

 

Both fantastic with a slight edge to Mayweather

 

Toney.

Floyd relies more on quick twitch fibres and footwork, James is obese and he's still able to pull it off against anyone. He frees himself up more and can follow up aswell. It's all timing and anticipation and very little athleticism.

Not much in it though, they both come from the same school.

 

toney stays right in front of you and slips and rolls floyd uses alot of footwork still both are excellent at it

 

I give it to Toney. He makes more with less athleticism.

 

based on efficiency - floyd
based on offensive output - toney
