    Ward won better fights at light heavy but wasn`t as good at fighting on the inside, but who would have won between these two at their best in a fantasy fight?

    One thing about James Toney ...for all of his trash talk ...he was a clean fighter...he was always fought a clean fight ...I could see Ward using dirty tactics to gain an advantage

    At his best (The Barkley and Littles fights), Toney wins a close decision .Too slick and fast.

    Ward was a lot more skilled than Barkley or Littles were.

    I think Kovalev would have beaten Toney at 175 and Ward would have toyed with Griffin.

    Haha no way please.. Kovalev beating toney?lmao he could not beat Canelo. Toney would play with him, kovalev would not have even the puncher chance because toney had iron chin, in fact i believe that toney could knock him out

    Pickem fight to me. Both were well schooled fighters. I could see Ward using movement to out point James and I can also see James catching Ward with a counter right hand. One thing about Ward is he was smart enough to do what it took to win and not worry about pleasing anyone else. He would stand still agai st Toney or sit on any punches.

    A younger toney was so fast and explosive and had sharp punches. Good combination puncher and able to duke it out on the inside or counter you at mid range. Ward would get outclassed and embarrassed honestly.

    Older Toney was more lethargic and fought in spurts. Ward's determination and solid fundamentals could give him a close decision win.
