True or False: James Toney's win over Michael Nunn is better than any win of Floyd's?

That fight still has me a little salty..i was a huge Michael Nunn fan and thought he would beat Toney


Another bitter childhood memory courtesy of the sweet science

Corrales is the only one that comes close really.

The corrales win isn't in the same league. I'm a huge Chico fan but his career consisted of running over decent guys and then getting beat down when he stepped up in competition. That's not comparable to nunn's career or to how good he was at that time.

i don't know but i know if floyd was ever down in a fight like that he would never be able to come back and win it like toney did. he would keep potshotting and pray for the robbery(which would almost certainly come given his status) toney didn't have that cushy status so he went for the ko instead of waiting 5 years for nunn to be more docile and tame the floyd way.

I voted Mayweather had better wins. Toney knocked him out in the last round and he needed a KO to win. Mayweather beat guys like Castillo in the 2nd fight and Oscar and Canelo leading the fight all the way and I think those are better wins than Toney's come from way behind KO in the last round.

KOing Nunn in his prime in the 11th who was coming off really good wins against guys like Curry and Barkley is arguably better than leading against an inexperienced championship fighter in 23 year old Canelo, beating a past prime Oscar, or Castillo.

nunn has a much better resume than canelo and that fight was a joke at 152. hoya was clearly past his prime and castillo was a very good fighter but i don't think he's on the level of nunn.

Clearly you don't know Floyd as well as you think. Floyd was down on the cards against Judah and made the necessary adjustments. Floyd fights intelligently enough to not be down on the cards in most fights however. I've seen James Toney let several winnable fights slip from him.

down 3-1 in rounds and started getting on a roll after Judah got frustrated that he was getting no fairness from the ref due to the blatant knock down not being called, is in no way comparable to being up to 9 points down going into the championship rounds.

Or maybe the bogus cuts stoppage like what happened with Augustus when Emmanuel Augustus started to whoop that ass. The Floyd way indeed.
