Prime toney vs golovkin at 160?

Toney vs Jirov all over again.

There is nothing that even indicates it, sorry he hit Rosado plenty and wasn't able to seriously hurt him, Rosado has a very average chin. A shot Ouma finished on his feet and was hit plenty and plenty. Your eye test is bull****. Those guys were running away from shots. If all you're doing is running and dodging it's difficult to get the KO, but he did mess Rosado up http://www.brianphickey.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/480944_562687813760167_1513987395_n.jpg Also, Golovkin had an off-night v Ouma, he didn't look good at all in that fight.

The eye test. Unless you've tested them with a PSI machine, I'm sticking with it. No shame in not hitting as hard as Golovkin.

Toney would probably eat him alive, Golovkin is talented but Toney has more talent and what he does would work better on Golovkin as opposed to the other way around. That would be a very tough match-up for Golovkin but a prime, in shape, motivated (he was all those at 160) Toney is difficult for anyone.

Those guys don't fight like Golovkin. Styles make fights. Jirov and Barkley were more of a threat to Toney, then GGG ever could. You don’t think Iran Barkley would go through GGG’s record right now with just as good or better results?

lights out!

Oh, please... GGG get's utterly schooled by Toney, like 10 rounds to 2 schooled. Even if GGG did land, Toney has a granite chin...HW's couldn't hurt him FFS. Toney via wide, wide, wide decision.

I don't see GGG touching Toney with anything flush tbh... and Toney would win in a war. Toney decision

Dave Tiberi didn't think so. Toney of the Tiberi fight versus Golovkin of the Ouma fight? Toney UD. Its more interesting to compare them at their bests. Toney of the Nunn fight isnt tiring. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

Absurd thread. James Toney was a genius at the weight and as close to unhurttable as u can get. Golovkin is a bad ass and im a big fan but lets be real, he has done NOTHING to suggest he can hang with let alone beat James Toney! JT would slice him up with sharp hurtful counters....

Prime Toney had awesome stamina Juiced to the gills. Golovkin on steroids would also be something to behold.

Dave Tiberi didn't think so. Jirov, Nunn, and Barkley thought so though

I doubt GGG would even hit Toney. Toney by ko.

Right now I would lean towards Toney simply because we do not know how truly good GGG is yet. We will need to wait another year or so to properly gauge where he is at. We do know Toney was a fantastic Middleweight who was extremely tough, crafty and hard to hit. He was an exceptional middleweight fighter. GGG is just starting to test his worth against top fighters but we will have to wait to see where he ends up. He has a ton of potential, has a pleasing style and basically wants to destroy guys in there. Time will tell.

What on earth makes you think Golovkin has more power than Toney? The eye test. Unless you've tested them with a PSI machine, I'm sticking with it. No shame in not hitting as hard as Golovkin.

James toney would take to school most middleweights to ever lace them up, GGG who isn't much more than hype at this moment doesn't belong in the same sentence. Depending on what he goes on to achieve the answer could change, but I don't see it, Lights Out was special, a once in a lifetime fighter.

I don't think Golovkin is going to have more success stopping Toney than Peter, Rahman, Lebedev or Holyfield. In fact, I'd say it's more likely Toney puts too much leather on Golovkin and ends up stopping him than vice versa. Toney is very slippery and just a better fighter in every way barring power. But he was accurate and not feather-fisted by any definition. Toney UD. Only time Toney's stamina fails him is when he's at an all you can eat buffet. What on earth makes you think Golovkin has more power than Toney?

I don't know. We really need to see GGG with top guys to make this call. As for now, Toney is the safer bet.

GGG! Golovkin outworks him to a decision. We still have yet to see how good the god of war really is but once the elite step in with him everyone will see how good he really is.
