    I know he was lazy and disinterested mostly at 175lbs, but he did become world champion, what in your opinion was his best performance at 175lbs?

    I had Toney winning the first Griffin fight too. And the second Griffin fight as well but Toney looked a little unmotivated in that one

    The Freddie Delgado fight, or either of the fights with Anthony Hembrick.

    I think Toney looked at his best in his stoppage win against Duran Williams fight. Williams, with just one defeat against IBF champ Maske (losing a competitive decision).

    If I remember correctly, Toney defeated Delgado to win the WBU title. But that should be disregarded of course. That being said, the WBU gained some recognition at the time and seemed on its way to become recognized as a legitime 5th organization, which at the end never happened
