    Toney didn't just lay on the ropes vs Jirov, he stood in the middle of the ring slipped and slided and showed great precision and defence.

    Toney also fought much bigger men than Marciano, and had success and was never stopped, Toney would pose a real threat to Rocky Marciano.

    According the 1920 census Moore was just over three years old at the time. Making his birthdate 1916. He would have been 38 when he fought Marciano.

    marciano had his training wheels on at the time. Marciano rematched him in case you didn’t realize

    what about toneys losses to fighters who couldn’t carry marcianos jockstrap?

    Moore stood in middle of ring and threw unbelievable counter punches with precision , he slipped and slid & did shoulder rolls and other great defense

    bigger men? You mean when Toney was a heavyweight and tested positive for steroids?

    or when Toney was a cruiserweight losing to Drake thazdi?

    Toney wasn’t as great as archie Moore who toney based his entire style off, except Moore was a much better puncher

    Marciano was a complete different animal and punched harder and better than any 190lb Toney ever fought
