    Toney over Holyfield at CW... really? I don't see it but I do think Toneys puts up a good fight.

    Don't let their H2H fight fool ya. Holyfield would be all over Toney like a cheap suit as soon as the bell rang, this ain't Jirov (who gave Toney a very tough fight at CW) we are talking about. Holyfield was much better.

    McCall vs. Mercer: mercer. mccall is mental and unpredictable. mercer is the opposite.

    Tua vs. McCall: a sane mccall will box tua's ears off.

    Chavez vs. Duran: duran!

    Foreman vs. Tyson: foreman. more power, better chin (holyfield shows it), longer reach, stylistic advantage.

    Holyfield vs. Toney (@ CW): toney was the latest when they fought. but holyfield was the greatest cw :good

    Foreman would take tyson out. He's got the stylistic disadvantage and i have little to no doubt that he would be easily intimidated by a prime big george.

    I was just thinking about making a McCall vs. Mercer thread, thinking the same thing (that both would eat bombs over the full distance in a very entertaining slugfest).

    Why didn't it happen?

    I tend to favor Toney but not too convinced.
