    Toney at his best against Holyfield and Booker had two guys who came straight to him. Put him in with someone who can jab and show basic lateral movement, and he magically becomes levels worse.

    Ortiz and Fury both make him look stupid. Toney would probably stop trying to win and just try to last the distance.

    Stiverne showed a really nice jab in the first Arreola fight. If he could get the jab doing, there’s no reason why he couldn’t do at least as well Rahman in the first fight.

    Washington wasn’t very good, but if he stuck to a poor man’s Lewis impersonation it might give Toney a lot of problems. My guess is that Toney would edge it in a really ugly fight. Same thing for Breazeale basically.

    Szpilka would make it a very good fight until walking into something big and getting stopped.

    Arreola would go to war and lose a decision.

    Duhaupas would probably turn into a punching bag.

    Molina would get taken apart.

    Refute it, you know where to find the thread / post I’ve made things very clear and had 0 credible arguments against it, just a whole lot of “nah bro” “it’s obvious” etc make a good post and we can debate it.

    Toney never beat a fighter with a jab as good and as long as Foreman`s.

    Yeah I think so too. And even guys like Szpilka who were decent boxers although lighter in weight might have their chances at outworking Toney.

    I told it to evaluate the points made and generate an unbiased response to wether Toney wins or loses

    He in fact, does not beat Foreman

    Also it's common sense
