I recall the fights toney had with Mike McCollum, masterful boxing IQ, ring general ship, against an awesome fighter... he was at his best at middle or super middle weight imo... I'm sorry to see his mental faculty has declined though... he is legendary middle weight going all the way to the heavy weight... incredible

I remember this fight because Toney used the same trap and overhand left that he used to KO Mike Nunn. Toney and Duran were two guys who would pressure the hell out of you WHILE being nearly untouchable at their best. Floyd had moments when he would do it but these guys made careers out of going after guys and beating them up while hardly getting touched.

The real nightmare, not just agressive defense, he can sit in the pocket, feet on his opponents centerline, an rip counters all day. He is impossible to hurt Even though he is slow footed, you cant keep him off you. If uou mabage to do that, it's because he let's you. It's a trap, especially when his back on the ropes.
