    @ HW, of course. Both on their absolute best day, who wins and how?

    The Toney who beat Holyfield would outpoint Tua clearly

    Chris Byrd beat Tua. Toney was better than Byrd. The Toney that fought Holyfield would embarass Tua.

    Young Tua circa Ibeabuchi days wins.Too many punches and quality hooks would keep the fat man on the defensive.Hard to beat that Tua when you're slow as **** and can't move your feet well.

    later comically fat or overtrained one isn't worth talking about.

    I would bet on Toney, to win a close fight...If Tua was a better body puncher I would safely pick him, but I don´t think he was a good one. Toney would be able to counter-punch a lot of Tua´s powerful punches imo....

    The Tua that fought the psycho-****** was a dumb fighter that had problems with a dumb fighter that just threw punches. The toney that fought Holyfield could throw punches and he was far from dumb.

    He was also fighting a walking corpse that made him look a whole lot more formidable than he really was.

    The Tua of the late 90's cleans Toney's clock.

    I'm not sure, I like Tua more but I think Toney probably outboxes him although staying in the pocket with Tua is dangerous. Toney getting knocked out is pretty unlikely in most fights although Tua is a puncher who can knock out those who usually can't be ko'd

    So I'm not sure, although it should be marketed as T 'n' T
