    Max Schmeling would knock him out IMO. Valuev would out-peck him I suspect. The rest of list, I have no dramatic objections, though people will be unhappy you picked him to beat Max Baer and I've sympathy with that.

    I actually felt like reconsidering Max (The good one) But I don't know how to in vison a fight with Nikolia. The way I kind of see it is Toney never getting hit and Valuev sleep walking to an L I might need to watch more Suga-man... Yeah nah

    If he beats GF in the 70 s, how's he fare against Kenny Norton do you think?

    Far more likely than Hagler beating Tarver.

    Honestly, it's like when I feel that you've sunk as low as it is possible for you to sink, you find a way to prove yourself even more ridiculous.

    It's at the point where i'd remove you from the forum if it wasn't so funny.

    I don't really get that whole "Triggered" thing, it seems to be that it entails an emotional response to an otherwise valid position taken by another poster/tweet/whatever?

    But it makes no sense here because I can remove you from the forum any time I feel like it.

    I mean, you aren't the first dummy to stalk the halls of Classic and certainly won't be the last.

    It would be a good match up for Norton.

    Better hope that monster Dave Tiberi doesn't move up to heavyweight.

    The only reason we are even considering how Toney might do against old time heavyweight greats is because of how he performed against modern heavies.

    And the only reason he performed well in the modern era is because, despite what you might think, modern heavies are crap.

    Think it through. He barely scrapes past Reggie Johnson and Dave Tiberi at middle. Weight drained, you say. So he puts on 15 lbs - or doesn't need to lose an additional 15lbs - and becomes a light heavy losing to Drake Thadzi and Montell Griffin. So he puts on another 50lbs of lard and, in your scenario, becomes an ATG at heavy beating some of the sport's finest names at that weight.

    We laugh at Don Cockell but if Toney was white and English he'd be a lot closer to Don in our estimations than he would be to Joe Louis.
