    James.

    I think he could have avoided that left hook for a decision win.

    He'd had to have been very sharp though and on top of his game.

    I think Tua is made to order for Toney who outsmart him on the inside en route to a UD.

    This. Tua was useless against a clever fighter. Toney would toy with him like Byrd did.

    Toney could move and counter all night against Tua. However he definitely couldn't KO him

    Toney wide UD Tua

    It would like a heavyweight Toney vs Barkley. Tua has no shot. A large meal eaten alive.

    Wow normally I feel like Tua gets overrated on here, now I am ....just surprised.

    I think Tua beats him and might even stop Toney although that is no easy task.

    Tua wins this one for me

    Toney would duck under that hook all night

    Tua would eventually break him.
    Toney was very tough and a gifted tehnician, but Tua from the Ibeabuchi fight brings too much power and pressure.

    Tua.

    He routinely knocked future and past heavyweight champions out in seconds so I’ve been told.

    Against a mere past middleweight champion you’d have to think he knocks Toney unconscious (if he’s pulling his punches that is) in a zeptosecond.

    You say the same about Sam Peter and Rahman. One does not simply KO James Toney. His skills are levels ahead of Tua, and he's insanely durable. More likely Toney absolutely schools Tua.

    Wow 8-3 in favor of Toney?

    I am just confused as to how Tua beats numerous greats in hypothetical threads frequently, and now he gets schooled by James Toney?

    He beats Frazier, Louis, Marciano etc. but gets schooled by Toney. I feel like I am missing something?
