    An old fat Toney could take Sam Peters' punches over 24 Rounds , Hassim Rahman's for over 14 , Holyfield's until he couldn't take Toney's , Guinn's for 12 , and Jirov's at 190 lbs , and a prime Roy Jones' at 168 for 12 rounds , while almost dying from dehydration yet people expect Biaffra boy to stop Toney , they must be either demented , ******ed , or both.

    Henry Hank was very similar to Toney and took a bit of a hiding from Foster.

    Go watch Toneys fight with Reggie Johnson at middleweight. Any fighter can be knocked out if they get hit on the goodnight button.

    Toney's best chance is to 'strike it rich' like he did against Nunn, but the likelihood of this happening against the rangy Foster, whose power could regress one to a looped defensive program, is borderline zilch.

    Foster was nice n' cosy on the outside where he lay-in-wait to pulverise rushes with counter-rights or take that little step forward to slug away disjointedly, with his longer arms marooning your efforts.

    Ted Spoon is sure Toney would provide some defensive manoeuvres worthy of the highlight-reel, but there are too many serious problems here to give James a fair chance. Foster gives Toney the kinds of problems Hearns would x10.

    I'll take Foster by eventual KO as well.

    Yes, because Foster is endowed with all the skillset, athleticism and mobility of Hearns.

    One of the first I watched. Watched it at least 3 times already.
    Toney was down , hurt , took punishment against the ropes while recovering from the KD , and then came out raging to retrieve the fight to where it was before the KD , which he succeeded , so what does this tell us ?
