    Fitz for me,if he took on the fat and slow toney,maybe a late late KO,but if he was fitter it would be damn close

    Jack Dempsey spoke in reverence for Fitzsimmon's techniques for weight distribution for power punching...Calling Fitzsimmons and Joe Gans masters at punching technique. I cannot honestly see Fitzsimmons being capable of beating Toney.
    I feel Toney is an under appreciated great...with his technique and style...what he accomplished in fighting heavyweights as a former middleweight simply astounds me.

    Put Fitzsimmons, as he stood, in a time machine and send him to the mid 1990s against the super middleweight Toney and he gets stopped.
