Toney vs Tua

[whdempsey]

It depends on how Tua comes in there. Toney would outbox and undress the Tua that fought Rahman, and take an easy decision similar to Chris Byrd's. The Tua that came on late against Oquendo, or took out Moorer would probably also beat Toney. And that's no commentary on Toney's chin, that's all about Tua's power. Still, I'm gonna lean toward Toney, who has been slightly more active and much more consistent over the past few years. Toney by UD.

but if tua lands its definatly lights out

I'm am one of those whose not convinced Toney is all that at Heavyweight. If he could beat Tua, which I don't think he could, I would then be a believer.

One thing is for sure though-we would see just how good Toneys chin is.Later brother brolog.

Tua is one of the few heavyweights with one punch KO power. The guy has knocked people out in every round, including the 12th. His power is the only reason he even stays around, some ****y fighter always comes along, lets their guard down against him and ends up getting knocked out. Tua is one of the most avoided fighters at heavyweight, noone is looking to fight him unless they are "forced" to do so.

James has a very good chin, but a solid power punch from Tua would put anyone to sleep.

Good match! The way the fight unfolds may be a throw-back to the old days. I see both as a sort of throw-backs. One, so well-schooled (shoulder rolls, feints; tight, reflexive, accurate counters, etc.); the other, a persistent threat through 12 rounds with his power!

I, also, anticipate it to be a Toney-Jirov, racheted up to much higher levels by Tua's power.

I think Tua would win this fight pretty easily if he is in shape... but he hasn't been in shape in years!!! So he would still win but Toney would win a couple of rounds!

[acquitted]

this isnt a good question...toney is a blown up super middle weight..who stands and exchanges with ppl...david tua WAS i dont know about now...but he wasnt the guy u would want to exchange with...tua ko2

Toney is a great boxer, but at Middleweight, Lt Heavyweight or Cruiserweight. I am still not convinced of his heavyweight career. People love to give him credit for stopping Holyfield, but let's be honest Larry ****ing Donald destroyed Holyfield also so that does not say much. When Toney defeats one of the following heavyweights then he'll get props from me.


Both Klitschko's
Byrd
Ruiz (unfortunately)
Rahman
Barrett
Golota
Mccline
Whitaker
Tyson
Tua

I belive Toney would outbox him, but i dont think he can stay away from Tua`s monster hook the entire fight and when it finaly hits the chin of Toney its good night.
