    Tyson would take Toney out !! Toney is a Fat Middleweight, and one punch from Iron Mike would spell disaster! I say Tyson KO2

    Toney above 160 lbs is so overrated here that it isn´t funny anymore. What´s next, a fantasy matchup against Ali? I take Tyson by a brutal KO in the midrounds...

    Yup, one slided slaughter, great defense or not, Toney's history. He's simply too small to cause Tyson any serious problems.

    Tyson is one of a few people who I would pick to KO Toney.

    Holyfield bullied Toney to the ropes, and appeared to be too strong for Toney in the first round of their fight. Toney took a similar fight over a round later. Holyfield was lucky if he won a round after the first, before being stopped.

    Toney was visibly moved in the first round of the Holyfield fight. I think Toney would be visibly in trouble against Tyson with the same game plan. If the fight could make it past the 6th, I would pick Toney with little more than ease. I don't think this fight would see round 3. Tyson would just bull Toney, and take him out.

    i think tyson would physically try to move toneys arms to create space for his body shots. tysons uppercuts and handspeed would deffinetely be a factor too.

    Good post. I think this would happened as well. A prime Tyson I would pick over Toney but 96 Tyson is different story.

    Proof that length of a post does not equal quality.

    The fact that people are picking lightheavyweights who lose to Drake Thadzi over Tyson goes to show you how deluded some of Toney's fans are. :patsch
