    who would take this one? they were both great boxerS, Toney maybe slightly superior, but Frazier could make up for it with that murderous left hook.

    Frazier could also make up for it with the fact that Toney was a natural MW who'd have lost to any of the great HW's. Frazier by TKO in the late rounds.

    Frazier destroys him and has absolutely no respect for him in the ring because of his lack of power.

    Toney likes to snatch Rest periods in fights - But there is No Brakeman on Fraziers train, Joe's Pace is Ace against Toney, and James will not be able to live with it, Also Joes was not the earliest Pressure fighter to hit at his best, all told, not a good match for James

    "No brakeman on Frazier's train". I like that.

    Interestingly enough, James Toney played the role of Joe Frazier in the 2001 movie about Ali.

    Joe Frazier should have had as big a down on the casting director of that Film as he has on Ali,"Ugly am I?"

    Frazier is perhaps the worst matchup in history for any small slick boxer.

    Just dont go there.

    Frazier would end up doing a serious number on him ... five or six rounds tops ...
