    Toney beat every southpaw he faced. He won 2 world titles against southpaws.

    I wonder if Herol thinks Calzaghe could beat De Gale at 168?

    Toney would win. His skillset just a little too much for Joe.

    Calzaghe on points. Would not be an easy fight. In the end, those that throw and land more win most of the time, and that's how I see this fight.

    In fantasy fight I agree. If they fought in real life Joe would have no doubt beat him.

    HerolGee i am not basing Toney losing to Joe winning twice on southpaws. I said JT had trouble with
    slick boxers and can be out worked as the fight was DT was a horrible decision . Boxing is about styles
    please look at my reply to James Toney vs Golovkin

    Toney was horribly weight drained against Tiberi. Most observers felt Toney beat Griffin twice.Who did ouwork Toney?

    yeh he figured em out, he'd figure joe out. a large part of joes game was being southpaw, against those who could work them out he joe was reduced to being a middling boxer, more of a stamina driven speedster of low accuracy and power.
