    Maybe but he also couldnt compete with those guys without PEDs and he proved it by getting caught not once but twice in an era when it was still pretty easy to get away with it.

    Toney should have got the nod in the 1st fight. Peter removed all doubt in the 2nd fight by dropping & smacking Toney about for 12 rounds.

    I think the first bout was the last of Toney, Peters mostly landed rabbit punches vs JT the first time, filthy bugger.

    I thought Toney edged it but it was close.

    Peter won this fight. Toney was given more credit than he deserved.

    Toney won that first fight, no doubt in my mind.....................Peter (amazingly) dominated the 2nd fight though. And the fight was so lopsided there was simply no need for a rubber match.

    That 2nd fight was the beginning of the end for Toney. Even though he would continue to win, he kinda fell off a cliff at that point. You could start seeing the total decline.
