    Then I suppose Toney has the edge, I just have a hard time rating things like speed and durability P4P, especially when comparing a Heavyweight who fought opponents with no limit to a Middleweight that eventually grew into Heavyweight. I suppose Toney makes the most sense in that regard, having been outsized for a good part of his career and still taken a number of flush shots.

    Heavyweights will always be favoured chin wise, but P4P it has to be:

    1. George Chuvalo
    2. Harry Greb
    3. Marvin Hagler
    4. David Tua
    5. Marion Wilson
    6. Kid Gavilan
    7. Jake Lamotta
    8. Wayne McCollough
    9. JC Chavez Sr.
    10. James Toney

    Honourables: Oliver McCall, V. Klitschko, Carmen Basilio, Ray Robinson, Hank Armstrong, Maxie Rosenbloom, B Hops.

    Also- Those roided Mosley right hands that ****ed Margarito up and ruined him? Yeah, my man Oscar ate them like they were birthday cake in 2 fights. :hi:

    Tyson and it's not half as close as people think. Toney's durability at HW is wildly overrated. Clubbing punches from Peter had him stunned.
