Ranking the 10 Greatest Boxers of the 1990s | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

In May 1991, Toney exploded onto the scene by knocking out IBF champion Michael Nunn while trailing on the cards. In 1993, he moved up to super middleweight and stopped Iran Barkley in nine for the IBF title. 

Toney lost his title to Roy Jones Jr. in November 1994, then lost his next fight to Montell Griffin, at light heavyweight, in February 1995. 

Toney fought a few more times at light heavyweight, but since the mid-90s, he has largely competed at crusierweight and above. Although he was weighing in at least twenty pounds above his ideal fighting weight, Toney spent the second half of the 1990s building a convincing argument that he is the best cruiserweight of all time.
