What's that got to do with the fact that Toney and Ezzard Charles are polar opposites as fighters?
Mike Tyson studied hours of tapes of Kid Gavilan and Sugar Ray Robinson. He fights polar opposite to both.
Mayweather studied hours of tape of Roberto Duran. He fights polar opposite to him.
In all honesty Toney fights nothing like any of the above you listed, perhaps closest being Archie Moore but obviously Archie Moore is in a total different stratosphere compared to Toney as a fighter.
“You seen me, right, you seen mine, my shoulder roll? Mine’s real, the real one to do it,” Toney said. “I am the shoulder roll king, period. Hands down. It [the shoulder roll] came from Jersey Joe Walcott, Ezzard Charles – ‘The Cincinnati Cobra,’ those were the originators. I just picked it up and added my polish to it.”

I don't know if they are polar opposites of each other. But don't gloss over the obvious, glaring similarity between them as fighters.
“You seen me, right, you seen mine, my shoulder roll? Mine’s real, the real one to do it,” Toney said. “I am the shoulder roll king, period. Hands down. It [the shoulder roll] came from Jersey Joe Walcott, Ezzard Charles – ‘The Cincinnati Cobra,’ those were the originators. I just picked it up and added my polish to it.”
They are almost nothing alike in style.
