    I’ve been saying from 99 on, I would favor roided Toney who fought Holyfield to beat Tyson. I don’t the ink Tyson could go 12 at that point, and Toney would force him to do that.

    “Bite fight” and earlier, Tyson was probably still focused enough to win.

    There’s no reason why Toney wouldn’t outperform Buster Mathis Jr., who frustrated Tyson.

    Toney would cause a massive upset like he did against Holyfield. He had the skillset, chin and heart to take Tyson's shots and put the heat on Mike.

    He said it perfectly when interviewed.

    "How would you beat Tyson if you ever fought him?"

    "Hit the muthafcuka back!"

    Toney would have won any time that the fight could actually have been made!
