    actually you can say what you want about blacks but I don't see blacks being that delusional telling a 180 pound black fighter can beat Wlad or Vitali because they are white. That is what you white people do. Blacks have their favorite fighter where they build up but never to the extent you white people try to build up white fighters.

    Personally, while I think that Marciano would beat Toney, I wouldn't be suprised at all to see Toney decision him. A little suprised, because I think that Marciano, being more of a fighter than Jirov, would outwork him and take the counters. Some nice clean shots for Toney, more punches, and some good ones, too, for Marciano.
    See? We can talk about this without racist comments or coming across like a jackass.

    Does anyone actually think Toney has a strong chance against the 1952 Walcott, 1954 Charles, 1955 Moore? I don't.

    Shawn Kemp: go away. You've proven your lack of knowledge about the fighters you're talking about and you're race-baiting.

    As for the thread, Toney proved nothing at HW. Peter had power, but nothing like the workrate and grit of Marciano. Holyfield was done. Jirov is a good barometer, but Marciano is leagues better in every way.

    Even if he survives to the final bell, he loses a lopsided decision.

    no he did not have a strong chance, he would have beaten and humiliated a 40 years old moore for sure, walcot is closer but i think that the toney who faced evander could well win this fight, the same thing with charles, close fights against jjw and charles , but toney would kick the ass of 1955 moore for sure.
