    Would favor Toney but it's a close fight

    Toney would easily outbox him

    Toney was hitting his best form at Super-Middleweight, and looked more comfortable there, before running in to Jones. If we're talking the Toney of the Barkley and Williams fights, he's just a cut above Collins. Collins was game, durable and not a bad technician, but he wasn't a very adaptable fighter. A 1993-94 Toney would be showing him things he'd never seen before and, I believe, things he wouldn't be able to deal with.

    Toney wide decision.

    Collins was hard as nails. He pushes James similar to Jirov but loses a UD

    Toney would beat the **** outta Collins. Assuming of course, we're talking the Toney who beat Barkley and Charles Williams.

    Collins would take a thrashing.

    He'd beat Collins just like McCallum did.

    Toney was far better than anyone Collins fought at 168, McCallum was by far Collins best opponent, but he never beat him and Toney did at 160 that`s the difference between the two, Collins could never beat an elite fighter, he was very basic, but sometimes he would throw a good 1-2.
