    going to be a classic, I like how Conn has the mobility which is needed vs Toney, but for Toney I like that Conn fights a lot too. I think Conn is almost as good as anyone at 175 though, I'll get back to you

    Much of Toney's best work is negated by Conn's fast, tricky footwork and quick punching from the outside. His counter-punching would be a factor but Louis had plenty of problems getting to Conn with his counters. Can't see Toney really getting off at all in this match-up and he doesn't have the punch to bail himself out.
