James Toney: ATG chin or ATG defense?

list of great fighters right there (minus Tiberi) so there is no shame in getting "tagged" alot V these guys. Toney had great great D . . . just not on the level of Pernell, Money, Benitez and the like. I would say he is only slightly behind these guys though. Toney's greatest asset was his ability to stay relaxed in the ring. this gave him a great D and a great chin!

 

great chin, good defense.

 

Great chin

Peter put him down with a jab but that was more that age,weight and balance were catching up with him

GReat defence as well he was a bugger to hit cleanly especially when he first went to heavy

 

I don't really consider Johnson that great, or Griffen really. I consider the greatest Defensive guys to be the class of Whitaker, Locche, Floyd, Hopkins, Pep, (Ben) Leonard, Benitez, etc.

 

Almost? Jones,sat toney right in the corner. Was a balance thing but was really nice to see the first time.

 

Reggie Johnson knocked him down with a quality shot he didnt see coming

 

both.........

 

One of the byproducts of sparring more than you sleep lol. When you've seen it all, why panic?

 

I dont remember him actually touching the canvas but i am not disputing the KD. That was an official KD.

that was a sweet one.

 

Even prime Toney got caught a lot. Just not clean. Always had his chin tucked. His chin was amazing though. Could eat some bombs and come right back.

Solid defense, but sensational chin.

 

chin>defense

Both.

When he was younger you saw the great defence, now his reflexes are gone you've seen the great chin.

 

A punch landed but basically what happened was Jones jumped into him and half body-checked, half pushed him. He staggered backwards and ended up on his arse. Not a real kd. Peter's was and Johson's was. Toney's been down twice as far as I'm concerned.

 

I'm talking about James Toney.
