    Toney, while defensively terrific, may not have the workrate needed to win here. Remember Toney was not a natural heavyweight. He was carrying a lot of extra weight.

    Povetkin close UD but the Toney that fought Holyfield may have a chance.

    Povetkin by close decision if we are talking about the version of Toney that beat Holyfield. Toney always loved fighters who came forward and tried to fight in the pocket
