    I think he was a bit past it by Hearns fight. Minter or Sibson for me.

    Would everyone agree that RJJ's peak performance is vs Hopkins at 160, and that Toney's is vs Nunn?

    Toney's is Reggie Johnson, for me.

    Loses the first two rounds and gets dropped in the second, but then he immediately gets to work on putting himself back in the fight. By the championship rounds it's just about his to lose. This is against a mover, too, his supposed kryptonite. Not sure the Toney of even a year or two later would have had it in him to hunt down Johnson and take the fight back.

    Nunn might be better as a win, but I think he got a bit tired/sloppy in that fight. Johnson was more or less at his best, and I thought Toney came back from a rough start to outbox him overall. Very underrated performance. For both guys, really.

    I have seen highlights of the Reggie Johnson fight but not the full version. Would love to see this in full. Hopefully i can make time for it soon.

    Reggie seems like a pretty underrated fighter.
