    Frazier. Hes about the worst HW style matchup for Toney.

    Frazier all day every day. Toney is great at slipping the right hand and countering with his own right but that isn't Joe's forte, he's all about the left hook. We saw in the rematch Toney had with Griffin how to disarm Toney's counter right hand, Griffin abandoned his right hand not giving Toney chances to counter with his best shot. Frazier will not give Toney opportunities to counter his right and Frazier will have a stationary opponent he can just keep wailing on.

    I am sorry but Toney clearly won the 2nd fight against Griffin.

    Anyway, Frazier wins

    Frazier by UD in an absolute barn burner, though it pains me to say it as an unapolegetic Toney nuthugger.

    Did I say Griffin should of won? Nope just simply pointed out a stylistic advantage Frazier would have over Toney based upon the difficulties Griffin gave him. Whoever you think won the fight it's clear that Griffin gave Toney fits both times they fought.

    If I mean that I'd have said that.

    Roman Gonzalez is good and relentless, I wouldn't favour him over Toney.
