    Just watched his clinic he put on against Barkley.Hands down one of the most complete displays of boxing skills and craft displayed in a single fight in the 1990's.

    It's almost obscene to see the fat slob he became still showing flashes of those sublime skills at Heavyweight.Toney's a great fighter who still underachieved for the gifts he had imo.:-(

    Sublime.

    You really get a feel for how talented he was when you consider how he landed on McCallum in that video, and when you think how long and varied his career has been. From Nunn to Peter - quite a journey.

    amazing video. almost like a tutorial for counter punching.
     
  8. On top of a mountain of other attributes. Integrity in his style i think he look the same against anybody. Strong natural flow, psychological and hypnotising.
