    This, judging this matchup by the Toney we actually saw at 175 pounds I'd go with Beterbiev .

    Ummmmmmmmmmmmm, Toney by an extremely wide decision. People are saying this would be a bad matchup for Toney, nah. This may possibly be the absolute worst stylistic matchup Beterbiev could possibly face.

    If Toney had a proper camp, he beats Beterbiev clearly. Big IF though.

    If he has Bill Miller or Fred Roach in the corner, it's conceivable :lol:

    Beterbiev will land so many rabbit punches. Toney's slipping and ducking will expose the back of his head which will be targeted.

    Toney by commanding unanimous decision.

    Beterbiev would beat the **** out of him. Beterbiev would get absolutely crucified on a molten cross by these same clowns if he lost to Drake Thadzi and Montell Griffin x 2 and he certainly wouldn't be afforded a single excuse for it like all the obligatory ones which they instinctively afford North American fighters for their losses and poor performances :facepalm:

    Toney at his best would win. I think he would counter Beterbiev into Bolivion. Toney has a great chin and his defense is some of the best in boxing.

    This is a case where the triangle theories don't work in boxing. I think Beterbiev would KO Jones but would either lose by decision or maybe late KO to Toney.

    James Toney fanboys :sleep:. Beterbiev would be a heavy favourite vs Toney.

    Toney ducks low

    Beterbiev hits him to the back of the head

    Toney wakes up and his slurred speech is corrected and he sounds like Prince Harry
