    What middleweights could as successful if not more so against the exact opposition that Toney faced?

    Call it weak opposition, call some of the decisions questionable. I still find his success at such a high weight unbelievable... Especially coupled with his age.

    So choose other middleweights to mirror Toney's career at cruiserweight and even heavyweight.

    Who can do better?

    How's Greb do?

    Mickey Walker?

    Ezzard Charles?

    Billy Conn?

    Billy Miske?

    Not saying any of them fail horribly, but Toney is almost an enigma, a unusual collection of skills and chin that's made the move up in weight just as well as any fighter, in my opinion.

    Thoughts?

    Walker would unify the middleweights, go to lightheavweight, unify that title. Jones may be the only threat.

    After a few years of ruleing the divsion, jump up to heavyweight(After unifying the crusierweight divsion of couse)
    Ko a old Holyfiled in 3 rounds. Fight both Kilt brothers on the same night, at the same time. Ko Wlad in the first, and VK in the 2nd. Than goes on a rampage on the divsion, unifying all 10 major heavyweight titles. Than ends his run with a first round ko of Sam Peter, before he retires with a 345-0 record.
