    Oh, please. That's like saying who would beat Ray Robinson at welterweight.

    Holyfield much too strong there, 190, for Toney. Take it to the bank.

    If it's those two versions than I am definitely taking Holyfield. I don't think he stops James but he definitely puts it on him. Holyfield was a combination punching machine at 190. As good as Jirov was, Holyfield was another level.

    1988 Holyfield v 2003 Toney? Holyfield by decision.

    Holyfield via UD. Holy's quick combinations, footwork & work-rate would off-set Toney's slick boxing. In the first 3 rounds of their actual fight, Holyfield was competitive & clearly won the first round. It would be a good match-up and a great fight.

    No one should kid themselves into believing Toney would win.

    Yeah, Holy beats a prime Toney. He wouldn't have as many problems as he did vs Qawi, either. Toney vs Qawi or Mormeck are better match ups. Pressure fighters.
