I assume this fight is at Heavyweight:huh Byrd was bigger, in better physical condition, and had a much more solid resume at Heavy, and in my opinion was a better all around fighter than Toney in this division.. Easy pick for me Chris by UD..
Byrd lands more, Toney lands better. Byrd keeps a higher workrate which allows him to win a close disputable decision.
I like Toney. A Golota with no legs and no jab was able to beat Byrd. Raham in tremendous shape thinking he was going to be fighting Vitali had Toney against the ropes and could do nothing to him. He won only because he had the power to prevent Toney coming forward on him. Byrd would miss and Toneys more convincing shots gets the respect of the judges is what im envisioning.
The Toney that beat Holyfield would be able to beat Byrd. The one after that wouldn't. He never regained that form after being injured.
You know what I agree with this... Toney at the time he fought Holyfield beats Byrd but you take any version of him from that point on up until after the Peter fights and its always a close fight with Byrd.
