So that means they are evenly matched by your account.
No it doesn't because Andy Ruiz was a Top 10 ranked HW when he beat AJ who you're laughably trying to claim is a C level fighter.
Whereas James Toney lost to UNRANKED JOURNEYMAN in his prime who weren't even E level fighters, possibly even lower.
So that's not even is it.
And it's not "my account" either because I'm not the one making that dumb argument, that's you. And you continue to keep making it despite the fact I've explained why it's a non argument ad nauseum.
James Toney's career is total fantasy to most of his "fans" who parrot this nonsense. There is no way any of them actually followed his career or have seen him fight other than youtube highlights.
We have people, albeit thankfully very seldom, in this thread saying Toney would "school" AJ when Toney didn't "school" a single top level fighter in his entire career.
Can't beat the likes of Sam Peter on two attempts or a finished Hasim Rahman and yet is somehow magically going to school and knock out AJ. Comical.
This is the same guy who was easily beaten by unranked journeyman in his prime multiple times. People aren't even aware these things even happened and when its brought to their attention then just ignore it or make every excuse under the sun for it.
I do strongly feel most of it must be based off his highlight reels as I don't know how else they come to such conclusions.
Didn't he fail a few drug tests at the higher weights also? He couldn't even beat these terrible, out of shape and past prime HWs despite being roided up yet he is going to stand in front of the likes of David Tua and Foreman and get the better of them? Hmm lol
He did & he received a fair few gift decisions to some pretty terrible fighters also
I think its sometimes weird how we view or remember fighters or perhaps choose to? Like AJ for example will always be that guy who got stopped by Ruiz but people remember Toney for being so great but he could easily have maybe 4-5 or so losses in his prime mostly to journeymen.
He has a good defense and chin. Tua is slow and the reach is similar. Stylistically it is not a bad matchup for Toney
Defense not all that good at HW to be honest.
Tua isn’t slow at all either.
Tua is the most winnable on the list but he still never showed he could beat anyone on Tua’s level at Heavyweight so I see no reason to think he could beat him.

He beat John Ruiz and drawed with Rahman. They are maybe a little below Tua but not that far below.
