    Tyson Kos Toney very easy.

    I know Toney keeps running his mouth about how he beat Holyfield etc etc and how hed Ko Tyson too, sorry its not happening.

    Tyson Vs Toney would end up something like Tyson/Tubbs.

    Even a Tyson who was rusty still managed to time Buster Mathis who had a similar style to Toney.

    Toneys getting caught and then its 'Lights Out'. Apart from pretty good head movement, Toney has nothing to keep a rampaging Tyson off him. No size advantage, and pretty average power. With Tysons handspeed and power, i think its dangerous just trying to use headmovement to avoid his missiles.

    Yes i know Toneys got a good chin, but so did Larry Holmes.

    I would expect prime Tyson to obliterate him.

    Tyson would tear Toney to pieces, would be like watching a duck with no legs getting savaged by a Tiger which had been starved for 2 days.

    I'd be very surprised if anybody disagreed that Tyson would knock Toney out.
    Toney was one of the best MIDDLEWEIGHTS ever. A fight with Tyson would be several bridges too far.

    Even some of the more moderate heavyweights would be fancied to beat James.

    I think Toney from the Holyfield fight beats Tyson from the Botha fight on, and would be live against post-prison Tyson.

    Toney couldn't deal with someone that had the foot speed of Tyson. Mike could get in and out when he wanted to win a comfortable UD, however I doubt he'd approach the fight that way. Toney may give him a little bit of trouble while he last but I can't see it going further than 5.

    Toney has an epic chin, I mean he is a middle weight with a chin as strong as a very good heavyweight, but this is Tysons punches in bunches we are talking about.

    Also how well does Toney take body shots?

    Also we know Toney dosnt deal with superior speed very well.

    Theres just so much Tyson has on Toney (speed, size, power, equal skill, a solid chin, as good cardio, I just think Tyson takes it all day everyday)


    I can see why he made the claim he could beat Tyson, in much the same manor Holifield did, but its too far he would be stretched too far with Tyson.
