    Has a good record, and still going at it even now, one of the best counterpunchers in recent years, defeated heavies such as Holyfield despite being above his natural weight, where do you say he ranks p4p?

    his win vs Evander with a body work KO (something missing in modern times) was impressive but his lack of road work and dedication to the sport (getting fatter and softer) a negative...He still held his own vs the Big boys Rahman and Peter in fact he was on the verge of stopping Rahman...shows you the Big boys lack of skill....but Toney gets murdered by the K's and would have been KO'd quick by Marciano...but they would have all said he was an old middleweight

    no but there is a double standard because B-Hop had some great wins over 40 and showed more strength moving up in weight, remember he lost to Taylor 2 times as a middle...Jimmy Young was beaten 5 times as a middleweight and moved up to the top of the heavy's....5"9 Toney had some excellent fights as a heavy and cruiser but he was never in the class of a 32 year old Ezzard Charles as a Heavyweight, yet he held his own vs Sam Peter, Rahman and others and KO'd Evander with body shots...double standard because the ass-clowns who undermine Marciano's win over Charles and Moore (Archie beat top heavys and was on his best and most impressive win streak ever.
