    The Tiger that fought Torres vs. the Toney that massacred Barkley.

    If Toney came at Richard, he would surely be grabbing a tiger by the tail. It's then lights out for James.

    toney by some stoppage.
    dick tiger may be good but toney was deadly at 168 deadlier for sure than he was at 160 just like he was much better at 190 than he was at 175.
    some weights are good for him some less.
    also the steroids and growth hormones do their thing.
    toney was both a very good boxer and a great infighter. quite a complete fighter. chin , technique , decent power , reasonable stamina and even better when fit , fine speed.

    So Toney hits as hard as Bob Foster?? :patsch

    No, Tiger was GREAT.

    Tiger was deadly at any weight he fought at.

    So did Tiger.

    168 was almsot certainly Tiger's best weight. Shame it didn't exist as a weight-class when he fought.
