Sugar Ray Leonard vs. James Toney at MW

I picked SRL. That version was better than Nunn, who outboxed Toney for stretches in their fight. Add in the fact that the odds were about 50/50 that Toney would not be in proper shape for the MW division, I think SRL wins 116-112.

Leonard by a very close decision for me.

Leonard winning by TKO/KO shouldn't even be an option :yep

 

Toney k.o.'s Leonard late, and Jackie Kallen goes over
and sits on Ray's face.

I think Toney's unrelenting pressure gets Ray in the late rounds.

This fight would look like Toney Jones only slightly closer. Noone was more relentless in their attack than Hagler. SRL would win a comfortable decision.

 

Leonard wins a clear UD - too much foot movement for Toney. Toney would have a few good rounds though probably.

 

I like Leonard in this one, although he'd have to be at his very best, to win a close decision. Toney's too laid back for Leonard's fast feet, and Toney could possibly end up waiting for a KO counter that never comes.

 

I'd go for Toney here. Ray wasn't extensively proven at the weight and Toney fought a good crop of guys there, with wide-ranging styles. He didn't always win convincingly, but he won.
He was willing to take on all comers and didn't pass up the tough fights.

Leonard was still pretty good here, but Toney's youthfulness should enable him to squeak a close decision, maybe a split.

 

Cant see Toney stopping Leonard & I think the speed of hand & foot will win Ray more rds than not for a decision.

 

The fast and the furious.

Leonard UD12.
