@Jscottmoody Toney peaked in 1993. He never looked the same afterwards. James had a damaged pituitary gland which ruined his ability to lose weight and made him produce child levels of testosterone. Despite this, he obliterated Holyfield. He had to work through massive weight gain, hormone complications, and age. I cannot fucking believe people discredit this win; Toney is about 3 weight classes removed from his prime and 10 years past it. Meanwhile Holyfield was old. Stop with the horseshit excuses.

James Toney it's one of the most impressive fighters who ever stepped in a ring. He didn't train, he didn't diet, but he was so good, but SO GOOD that even overweight and untrained he put a pair of gloves and with just pure skill he defeated legends of boxing. Probably one of the most naturally skillfull boxers of all time.

Holyfield was such a great boxer he could head butt and never be reprimanded by a ref. Years ago I was being taught to be an amateur boxer and my teacher showed me how to cheat by using my elbow through a follow through. It dealt with the ref being out of position to see the foul. Being a young guy I was astounded but after following the pro game 'cheating' is part of the game and will always be.

Possibly the greatest fat boxer ever. Casual fans always underestimate the guy who looks fat. They don't understand that it's possible to actually have good stamina and to be in fairly good shape but fat at the same time. People don't understand just how quickly you get tired in boxing. A guy with a six-pack who looks like he's in great shape can still turn out to gas out way before a well trained fat opponent. Sure, it would probably be better if they could find a way to lose most of that extra fat, but sometimes it's very difficult to do, and that fat doesn't necesssarily slow them down as much as you might think. And, of course, Toney wasn't always fat either.

He also doesn't have a resume near as strong as Floyd's, most fighters do not. Especially in modern era boxing.

@@leaks9837 yes. He beat a post-prime Foreman. Still a great feats. And James Toney beat a post-prime Holyfield. Still a grear feat. I still dont think Holyfield could take on prime Foreman just as Toney would likely be unable to beat a prime Holyfield who literally went to war with Riddick Bowe.

One of the more shocking performances in boxing history. It's not every day that a fighter who used to be a defensive wizard at middleweight go up all the way to heavyweight and end up beating one of the top heavyweights, despite Toney being tens of lbs over his natural fighting weight. That hand speed though. Those punches come out fast!
