    Tokyo Douglas outboxes the static Thomas.

    Douglas by UD. Thomas' excellent chin likely helps him see the final bell. But, If Pinklon got more aggressive, he might get stopped by that version of Douglas.

    Can see Buster winning but he'd be facing a guy top of his game ,which of course Tyson wasn't in Tokyo .So whilst I see James getting a decision win I see it close in some parts .But to be honest Tokyo Douglas would be bloody hard to beat by a lot of good heavy weight champs .

    Pinklon could win, but for me, it's a 50/50 fight. Pinklon could bang a little, and there wasn't no dog in him. If i had to pick definitely, would say Pinklon in a 6-5-1 fight.

    Thomas is so different to Tyson. Thomas bases his entire strategy and fight off the jab, Tyson more off getting past it. Thomas has the slightly better jab, Douglas has a bit of reach on him. Razor close for mine.

    Pinky had a heavier more potent jab. This bout would be a jab fest. Guys looking for the right hand behind it. I'll go with a guy that doesn't quit. Pinky Thomas
