Who wins this fight. An old but heavyweight version of Evander Holyfield was KOd by a younger and lighter but still old Toney. Many people tell me (i think incorrectly) that the cruiserweight evander could ahve never competed with heavyweights without the weight program. So how does Cruiserweight Evander go with the best version of Toney at the weight. Can the lighter Evander reverse the tables and do what the heavyweight version of himself could not do, or does James Toney repeat the win against evander?
Holy was utterly shot-to-**** & exhausted within 3 rounds when they fought in '03, that fight is irrelevant.
yes and no. I am not arguing against your point, but this version of holyfield has gone on to some pretty good performances hasnt he? I know there are some on here who would not think that Cruiserweight holyfield could match it with Valuev like ancient Holy did. I disagree, but many dont. And in saying all this, i think that i like cruiserweight Holy in this fight, but it would be a great one that could go either way. Many people would think Toney to be a far better figther than Qawi who did go the distance with Cruiser Holy.
No disrespect to Holy, but I think Toney has his number as long as he trains and Holyfield doesn't stay on the outside for the entire fight--too much chin, stamina, and counterpunching.
Prime holyfield uds prime toney at cruiser and at heavy burger king toney gets his light put out by holy
