    Would be a great test and learning fight for Fury but a risky one. Would be a great build up aswell. I want to see this fight

    JT would also kick Fury’s ass. If Chisora was getting in on the big man, what will a slick operator (even an old, faded one) like Toney do?

    Fury is so naive JT would just toy with him for fun. Fury would be made to look a complete mug.

    Toney is totally useless now and I think Tyson would beat him on points

    This. Fury would get frustrated and find Toney very hard to hit, but it's not like Toney actually throws punches back anymore.

    Not sure it would even be a helpful test. It's not like there are better heavyweights out there who fight with Toney's style.

    Yeah, the whole James Toney obsession is one of the most bizarre internet Boxing myths.
    I'm sick and tired of hearing about this guy. He's done nothing of note in years except making a complete show of himself in UFC. In his last in anyway relevant Boxing match, he got tooled by Fres Oquendo. Fury would beat him around the ring. Let's move on.

    In a hotdog eating competition maybe. Although Furys now trimmer physique might work against him, so i see Toney winning a comprehensive UD.

    As for boxing - **** knows, wouldnt happen so pointless caring about it.

    Paddy Doherty will be Tyson Fury's next opponent. If he finishes in the top 3 of 'Big Brother', channel five have guaranteed him a shot at the title.

    Not a fight Id like to see.Toney is well past it but would probably have enough left to outpoint Fury over 12 rounds.Toney would not even try for a KO,just make Fury miss all night and look a bit daft.

    Fury wins, only real boxing fans would be clueless enough to pick Toney.
