    I think he'd win a title or two.

    I don't think the refs would let him get away with a lot of the stuff he did. Other than that, he'd be a Joe Hipp level fighter, which is not entirely bad.

    He'd probably be an actor or a stand-up comedian or something.

    He'd probably win awards, Emmys and stuff, like James Gandolfini.

    This is a much more realistic post than those who think he'd win a recognised ABC title.

    With mob backing? He'd still become a number 1 contender.

    I met Tony a few years before he died in New York when I was a kid. Funny, funny man.

    Not the greatest boxer, though. He had some skills and a sneaky left, but a 5 foot 9, 69 inch reach heavyweight is getting freaking murdered by todays heavyweight champion.

    Wladimir would deserve a prison sentence after what he'd do to Tony. Could Tony even hit him in the chin? He'd be able to body punch Vitali and Wladimir, I don't see how he'd get a power shot of sufficient oompf high enough against a Klitschko.

    Haye would cut him to ribbons on speed, but it'd be a damn fun fight and I think Tony would get a flash KD to acquit himself in there.

    Chagaev is pretty shot, thats a pick em fight.

    Chambers schools him.

    Valuev beats him because the only thing Tony could hit him with would be fouls.

    with the double down around? he'd be bathing himself with a rag on a stick and wouldn't leave the house
