I am the biggest proponent of smaller guys beating bigger guys in matchups. I've always been on the side of Louis, Dempsey, and Marciano beating the likes of Lewis, Foreman, and Tyson. However, Toney is lacking something all of those other smallish heavyweights had, punching power.
Toney has never even a huge puncher at MIDDLEWEIGHT, and now we are expecting him to hurt a durable heavyweight like Vitali? If Vitali can go toe to toe with Lewis and Sanders, two of the biggest punchers in recent boxing history, he will look indestructable against Toney.
I like Toney, but he is too small, too old, and carries too weak of a punch to upset Vitali. I think the fight will be entertaining and may even go the distance due to Toney's superior skills, and Vitali's lack of one punch KO power, but I just can't imagine Toney winning unless Vitali comes to fight unprepared and in horrible shape.
