James Toney vs Mike Tyson 2003

James Toney far better on the inside than Tyson.

 

Toney TKO. Toney had a pretty good run from the Jirov to Rydell Booker fights where he messed up his arm. Tyson at that point was basically a 2 round fighter.

 

think tyson gets dq'd after being frustrated for 7 or 8 rounds. probably should be disqualified earlier than that, but follow the money.

Toney stops Tyson in the 8th.

 

At that time, Toney hands down.

 

Toneys style won't work against Tyson ... At any age ... Buster Mathis Jr couldn't handle Tyson and I don't see Toney handling that kind of attack, even from a washed up crackhead shot Tyson

 

Toney decision

 

The legendary Buster Mathis Jr.

 

Toney holds on thru the early storm, getting hurt badly.
By the 4th it's Toney all over him.

A guy who can barely go more than 3 rounds without gasing and whose heart was no longer in the game isn't beating Toney.

 

He responded in an interview to the question saying he'd like to have the chance and that it would be "easy" for him to beat Tyson. I don't think there was ever a direct call out or demand from Toney.

Despite the above comment's, outside of the ring, they both respected each other and were fans of each other.

 

Mike would have gassed by the 5th round (at the latest) add in the constant counters from JT and being made to miss badly I don't see Tyson getting to the 9th round in this

This.

 

that is fine for me.I just thought Toney was not a big puncher and never a heavweight, Tyson had a good chin.But you may be right
