tough one! would want Toney to win but Ward too good at adapting and sticking to the plan, UD Ward but still a close one
Ward wins too smart and sharp and focused. War is top quality it will take a banger/boxer to beat him
At SMW, Toney would win. You must all have forgotten just how good Toney was in his day. Faster hands than Ward. And he was a much better, skilled boxer than Ward ever was, and packed a bigger punch. I know Toney gets underrated by some because he had some off-nights, even in his prime... those Roy Jones and Tiberi fights really hurt his reputation. This shouldn't be an excuse, but Toney really was an exceptional fighter, Ward might be more consistent but really he is 'only' very good - Toney was something special, although he didn't show it on some nights. Toney by UD or late TKO. If Toney has an off-night I can see Ward winning a decision.
James Toney was at his best at a super middlweight. He would have won a close decision. Toney was quicker and the better combination puncher.
