Similar fighters. Low output, cement feet, upper body movement, fast hands, body shots, high accuracy, feints/fakes etc.. Both went into one shotter when they moved up.
Canelo slightly outboxes him at 160. He was hell of a counter puncher and extremely creative. Canelo by 7-5 UD or MD.
At 168, fight would have been different. Canelo's smart pressure was scary until Bivol and he even pressed him on the ropes. I don't know how Toney would deal with him. He hadn't output either. Canelo by clear UD.
Only Mayweather could beat Canelo among low output merchants in history of boxing. You need to punch after punch after punch to beat Canelo. And, that wouldn't be enough alone either.
