Gotta say that was an exceptional performance from Toney. His head movement was looking cat like in there. How does he do vs: Bowe Lewis Tyson Ali Liston Foreman Frazier Marciano Patterson
If any of those fighters are prime , or close to it they all beat Toney. Some more convincingly than others. As would Holyfield if he were prime or close to it.
He'd beat Marciano easy. He'd lose the rest though he'd put up a decent fight against say Patterson, Holyfield and Tyson.
Beats Foreman and Marciano (50-50) and that’s about it to me, Marciano is close enough in size that I’d favour Toney and he to have a great bout - Foreman is just too stiff, tense and not overly skilled I think that a good version of Toney at HW or CW let’s GF come to him and punishes him for squaring up and swinging so wide in a way Ali couldn’t have with his skill set, it’d be hard to watch GF flailing inside (similar to Zaire) and a hamster built Toney just turning him into a bobble head, too slick and too professional the right uppercut would be the punch of the night Toney would feel GF’s sort of “stress” in the ring in the clinch, in his swings in his pace and decide on the spot to make it a long game and he can do that he proved it against MUCH bigger guys then Foreman WAYYY past his prime.
I think of Patterson vs Moore, Patterson looks fast on film but imagine what it’s like in there with him I’m not sure, actually crazy as it might seem I can see the older Toney being caught in a blitz and being KD from an unseen shot 60-40 FP IMO but it really would be a fun bout whoever wins and they’re roughly the same size, funnily Toney might be the “naturally bigger” guy.
