    I think Kalambay wins it pretty clearly on the cards. I don't think you could find a much worse matchup for Toney @ MW if you tried.

    Kalambay because Toney would have been too weak at 160 to deal with him.

    Kalambay too slick and mobile for him IMO. Unless Toney can somehow sucker Kalambay into a perfectly placed shot and KO him (which only Michael Nunn ever did) then Kalambay outboxes him to a clear decision IMO.

    Yet he was strong enough to deal with McCallum and Nunn? Strength has nothing to do with it. Toney was fine at the weight until late in his run there.

    I dont know why but I pick Kalambay in this one. Stylistically he could win this one.

    I agree with the majority. Toney would be forced to pursue Kalambay and that wasn't really his game. Kalambay would just stick and move and rack up rounds.

    im not Pea but i thoguht i would give my views

    I honestly think he is too slick for them

    Benn- He can catch as he comes forward and i can see him KOing him as he walks onto a right hand

    Eubank- not a great offensive fighter and throws single shots would be picked apart from Toney counters

    Watson- a tough one really as i havent saw alot of Watson but i think again abit too slick and would pick him apart but he has the best chance IMO

    Kalamabay takes Toney out of his comfort zone and decisions him.
