    That version verse s
    Hearns
    Leonard
    Duran.

    How would the big 3 do against Toney at that weight?

    3-0. That version of Toney is one of the most ferocious H2H monsters of all time and none of those men listed had any business at 168.

    Watched the fight today, I know Iran was coming in with damage to his eye and had seen better days, but Toney really did a job on him!!

    He'd stop Hearns
    And perhaps sugar Ray and Duran.
    He really was a beast then.

    Toney dominates them. Some of the rounds themselves may be competitive, especially early rounds. But Toney would then take over.

    You think he stops any/all of them possibly?

    i think he beats them up badly. SRL and Duran are cagey enough to last the distance by going into defensive mode. Hearns gets stopped.

    Yep can see Tommy getting stopped.
    Duran had the Chin i think to survive the end but takes a beating.
    Not sure about Ray.
    As brilliant as he was, by super middle he was definitely looking vulnerable.
    If Tommy could put him down then a young Toney can.Idk
    Possibly he loses a decision but like the Norris fight he gets kd a few times.

    Goes 3-0. Hearns would actually be most difficult, do not forget that he went to win a title at 175

    It would be interesting to see Duran's experience fare against Toney's skills and youth.
    Sure he would get beaten by that version of Toney even if he appears like the Barkley/Sims/Hagler fight,but I wanna see how good of a pocket bomber it would become.
