    Nearly anyone can outbox McCall. However, beware to every fighter to opts to out-bomb McCall. Toney was tough, but he was not a natural heavyweight when he was one, and wouldn't be able to outgun McCall in any prolonged exchanges.

    I would give Toney a shot at winning a decision. Not because he beat an old Evander but because he was a much better boxer than McCall and had the whiskers to hang with him. Not a guarantee of course but definitely possible

    Toney UD. I think Olliver is a bit too predictable for James

    Toney by decision and clearly. Toney at 217 pounds was still fast and had a great move of head very hard to hit clean, he schooled Holyfield

    DKP will have his guy with his hand raised if it goes the distance. And Toney is not stopping this guy
