    What a boxing masterclass they’d put it on!

    I’m thinking Toney would grind it late. Body shots in the early doors when possible.

    I'm taking Holmes all day. Toney beat some good yet one dementional heavyweights that he could counterpunch to death. He is not doing that against Holmes who would jab away and not give many opportunities to Toney. 92' Holmes beat a prime Mercer and gave prime Holyfield all he could handle. Larry wins a clear UD as Toney's bitches about the judges.

    I’ll take Holmes by a narrow decision. I actually think he was MORE mobile in 1992 than Toney was in 2003 if that’s even imaginable

    Holmes, but in a competitive fight, people are imagining Holmes being able to keep Toney at range the whole time, which he could at times, but it’s not happening the whole fight at Holmes’ age, but I think Holmes can defend on the inside, maybe land some rights to the body the chopping rights over the top, then get back out of there, fencing with the left as he pulls out.
