    Although Toney was very hard to hit he stood in one place and Tua is a guy you don't really want to be getting hit by at all. Toney wouldn't have the power to trouble Tua at all but i think Tua would be able to hurt Toney if he landed the right punch. It would be a close fight imo, that version of Toney would make Tua miss a lot but his absence of ring movement would keep Tua in it, Tua would probably stun him a few times throughout the fight helping him pickup rounds.

    Toney would likely take a close decision after some sketchy moments, but its a fight that needed to happen to really have any idea how it would go imo.

    Exactly what I was thinking when I made this thread.

    Tua is as strong as an ox, impossible to hurt (certainly for Toney), the biggest hitter Toney faced and threw a lot. And Toney's gonna stand there and fight inside with him. But at the same time I've gotta think Toney's counterpunching and technical ability causes a lot of problems too.

    Tough fight to call as the polls would suggest :happy
