the Frazier of 1969/70 and the Toney of 2003 when he was in someway not a slob at around 200lbs.. Just watching Jirov vs Toney now and ****in hell Toney was good! Probaly gonna get abuse for making this thread but **** it! How does it play out?
Frazier puts too much pressure on Toney ,and, he is bigger and stronger,and hits harder than Jirov ,eventually he would wear Toney down ,beat on his arms,tunnel into his ribs.Toney is old school ,a real pro ,but work rate, he did not have. Frazier would out hustle him, and probably stop him between the 8th ,and 10th.
Toney has the moves and grit to withstand Frazier but loses by a decidedly clear margin once Frazier gets into top gear.
Trick question, James Toney is Joe Frazier [yt]Qp-j_D4EC5k[/yt] :48 Reality, Toney gets his body broken down for 12 rounds and loses a lopsided decision.
I dont see Toney getting stopped,not only does Toney have a good chin he happens to be a tough SOB to. Frazier's workrate would probably see him through against Toney, Toney never worked 3 min a round fighting at MW,even on the rare occasions when he was inshape
Frazier has too much smoke, James gets inside and wiggles and makes it interesting but the body shots from Smoke take there toll
I agree that Frazier would earn a decision, but what's all this about Toney's workrate? He's one the few guys to weigh that much and break the 400 punches landed mark--I think multiple times.
