    Toney from the Barkley fight clowns Ward.

    Any other version of Toney is 50/50. Yes Ward knows how to low blow and throw elbows, so does Toney.

    If Ward fought the opposition of Toney, he would lose too, likely even by several knockouts

    James Toney is not beating Sergey Kovalev. He did nothing of note at light heavyweight

    Michael Nunn wouldve SONNED Dre ass

    Nunn is probably stylistically an even worse fight for Ward compared to Toney.

    5ft7 gatekeeper Darnell Boone nearly knocked Dre ass out with 1 punch and dropped him first face first on the canvas . Nunn would've folded Dre

    Maybe, but I think Cruiserweight and Heavyweight is where he would have been hurt badly, he talked about fighting AJ but after the Kovalev fight he realised he has no chance in those divisions

    Toney wouldnt need the judges to save him from a loss against Kovalev like Dre did . Toney on his A game wouldve outpointed and outclassed Kovalev over the distance.

    Kovalev outboxed Dre , the stats of the fight proves that. Not a chance in hell He's outboxing James Toney lol

    Those are interesting claims.

    Who did Toney beat at light heavyweight

    All three judges had it 114-113, which happened to be a top 3 most common score among media. That's the opposite of corruption.

    I know it's PR Day are you're feeling a little bold because you drank a few sips of coquito, but you need to sit your silly ass down.

    Ward style wouldn't allow him to survive the cruiserweight division . Those 200 pound guys would overwhelm physically and have no respect for his offense. He barely survived at LHW against Kovalev and was getting staggered by jabs alone and hurt repeatedly and was knocked down early with 1 shot that didn't even land accurately. Dre doesn't make it past 5 rounds against Jirov up at CW.

    All 3 judges also didn't score not 1 rnd for Kovalev after the 6th rnd.

    That alone proves the corruption . Did Dre win every rnd from 7 to 12 ?? HELL TO THE NO. Rnd 10 was a CLEAR KOV rnd where he out boxed and out pointed Dre and still all 3 judges did not give him the rnd.

    Wrong . The most common score among the boxing media was 115-112 Kovalev and some of the media had it even WIDER for Kovalev . Know what you talking about before you start talking witcho LAME ASS
