    Intriguing fight, shame that it never happened. It might have happened, had Toney not lost a controversial decision to Griffin for the IBF Interncontinental Title. Then Toney fought for the meaningless WBU title and got himself off the rankings of the TOP bodies, just an example of bad management.

    Common opponents: Antonhy Hembrick, Duran Williams. Toney stopped them both in impressive fashion while Maske had some trouble with them. Toney also looked good in other bouts at light heavy (Delgado) and beat the highly regarded Griffin by most accounts twice.

    I think Toney would have stopped Maske. He would have slipped the jab got on the inside.Maske does not move much and Toney did always well against southpwas.
