    James Toney vs Sam Peter 1

    Toney was very fat and very old, and much smaller being a natural mw/smw.

    Peter was much bigger, the consensus number 2 heavyweight in the world at the time, and one of the best punchers in the division.

    They stood toe-to-toe, and on the rare occasions when Toney caught a flush one, he absorbed it freakishly well considering the scenario.

    Good pick, Mercer also demonstrated a great set of whiskers in his 1996 war with Lewis.

    What happened in that one?? Never even knew they even fought to be honest? Howard was a good fighter I thought - always wanted him to do well - seemed a good guy - did get Collins shaken up - never really seen Colins properly rattled

    Sung Kil Moon against Khaokor Galaxy in their 2nd fight. Took a Hellacious beating for 12 rounds, shortly after the death of his longtime trainer and just took it. Should've been stopped in the 11th IMO, but Moon was game to the end.

    I hear he's paying for it now. Shame.

    Check this out fight fans. Has anyone ever taken so many flush bombs from an All time puncher and come back to win a fight? Layne must of had a rock chin.
