Would Bruno Lose To Toney??

I mean the BBB of C must have checked before they sanction it right?

 

My mistake I was thinking of Coetzee

 

UK heavies have routinely fought the absolute weakest opponents on the way up. I remember being astounded when Lennox fought Mason and then Ruddock and won both. You could instantly tell you had someone who was going to be different. Up till then the routine for Brits was get massively overhyped, fight the worse of the worse and then fold as soon as you fought anyone in the top 20 because you had had zero learning experience from any previous bout.

 

Dangerous fight for James ! One mistake he is gone . Lack of power was not a issue for Frank

 

I was initially going to credit Bruno as being the first PRIME heavyweight puncher Toney faced. Then i remembered that he DID go the distance with Sam Peter twice. So the prospect of Toney going to the cards or even having a chance of winning isn’t out of the question. But Bruno for all his short comings was a big and strong heavy with a cannon for a punch and good left jab. It also generally took an imposing heavyweight to make him fold. And remember that Toney wasn’t in his prime or in very good looking shape for his heavyweight fights. Regardless of the outcome this is a very dangerous fight for Toney.

 

I faveur Toney by decision.tool slick too clever

 

We're not comparing ledgers here and, even if we were, what Toney achieved by needing to compete in bigger and bigger weight divisions is neither here nor there.

That said, Toney's record at heavyweight is probably worse than Bruno's and, when one can contemplate that as being the case, you've gotta wonder how highly Toney should or should not be rated in that division.

As you mention, at least Bruno won that one important fight there.

 

Having said that, the Rahman that Toney held to a draw, was probably a better fighter than Bruno.

 

I don't think any version of Rahman was a better fighter than Bruno.

 

Oliver McCall

It took really good and great heavyweights to beat Bruno. Huge heavyweights or guys with power. Bonecrusher, Spoon, Tyson x2 and Lewis.

I don't see Toney doing enough to get through Bruno's huge frame.

 

Depends on a few things:

1) How many rabbit punches does Frank get away with?

2) Can Toney make heavyweight?

3) If so, how drained is James from the effort to get down to heavy?
