Tyson vs Toney

Prime Tyson KO 5 James Toney

 

Strange matchup.
two of my favourite fighters.
Instinct goes with Tyson knockout.
After a little thought, it stays there.
I have no idea how this would play up.

 

Prime Tyson knocks Toney out within 4 rounds.

 

James Toney has Sergio Mora power @ Heavyweight.
Mike Tyson by K.O.

 

No he can't. Tyson is an all-time great heavyweight with superior skill, timing, speed, and power compared to that fat slob Samuel Peter. Toney may have survived that free swinging gorilla, but he wouldn't survive Tyson's ferocious attack.

 

Yeah he's an all-time great, but he's also naturally a much smaller man and most of his all-time great accomplishemnts took place at much smaller weights... and you can't even compare the Holyfield fight to this instance. Holy was 195 years old by the time that fight took place. A prime Holy would've knocked the **** out of that version of Toney as well.

 

Any version of Tyson? vs the Toney that fought Holyfield?

I'll take a Prime Tyson to KO Toney inside 3 rounds.

 

Toney does not have "nice power" at heavy weight where as Tyson has unbelievable power. Toney gets ko'd badly if he hangs on the roaps against Tyson who will move his head to avoid Toney's counters and work Toneys body. Toney in shape at heavy has never happenned. He's been fat and on steroids. Tyson by ko.

 

:rofl :rofl :rofl at using Sam Peter as a measuring stick for a Prime Tyson!

 

No doubt that Toney was a fantastic fighter even as an undersized heavyweight, but that's just the thing, he was too undersized for me to think he has any chance versus any all-time great heavyweight 215 pounds and above.

A better comparison would to to put him up against smaller heavyweights of past generations like a Joe Frazier for example. That's a much more winnable fight for a small heavy like Toney rather than taking on a beast like Mike Tyson.
