Who had greater ability: TONEY (circa Barkley fight) or CHAVEZ (circa Rosario fight)?

They had different skill sets, its Chavez inner qualities that separate them IMO but I know you never wanted this sort of response so....

Both could fight inside, Toney using smooth defensive moves & counterpunching... Chavez using similar defensive moves (arguably not as smooth but very effective still) occassional counterpunching & offensive pressure punching to both body & head.
They can both hold their own outside but where at their best inside, Julio had a decent jab & a lightning right hand lead, Toney himself had a good right hand, I think Toney in general was a bit slower, Chavez shut you down quickly & never gave you breath, you at least got a breather vs Toney - even if he was kicking your ass - I think Chavez was a better finisher too, faster with his precise finishing blows.

All in all, Chavez probably.
