    Conn too mobile and fearless for Toney..wins the decision.

    I would lean towards Conn, but Toney would keep it close. I just believe that Conn would be more active and slightly more effective.

    In my mind, this would be one of the greatest fights ever. I think that conn would pick his spots better, but there would be some mind-numbing exchanges.

    Conn's movement would dictate the action. But Toney has the sharp counter punching that would keep it close, I think he's the stronger of the 2 also. But Conn close and maybe controversial decision

    I guess the Tiberi fight was a shell of James Toney?
    Billy on his Louis form would smoke that fighter vary very badly.
