    Toney, like all fighters, just had one physical peak.

    It was from 1992 to 1994.

    Later, he was able to shine in the fight against Vasilly Jirov. Then he had a mediocre career at heavyweight.

    James Toney was awesome between 90-94, but he was awesome in 1999 all the way to 2004.

    nothing about those fights between 99-04 said that he was shot, if anything those fights show that he was getting better.

    I forgot about George foreman, he's a good one:good

    Foreman didn't have two peaks. He was very past his prime in the 80s and 90s. :think

    Toney is the most naturally gifted boxer who is still active. Imagine, Toney doesnt really even train. He has been an elite fighter for years.

    Holyfield had 2 peaks too, one in 1992 and another in 1996-1998.

    I don't care for Toney but I gotta say that his victory over Jirov was really something special. It was an unbelievable fight between a legend and an undefeated machine of a fighter from Kazakhstan. The way the fight was fought and the dramatic ending. Toney was just something else that night.

    Says the man with the toney avatar. :deal

    The fights are on youtube, everyone has seen them. The rematch particularly is exemplary of Harold Lederman's sad attempt at scoring a prizefight.
