Would Lennox Lewis have knocked James Toney out?

[Earl-Hickey]

Say if Toney had come up a couple years earlier and fought Lewis around the time he was fighting Tua and Tyson

Would Lewis have knocked him out, or just beat him up for 12 rounds?

[The Nephilim]

Lennox knocks him out.

Thankfully Toney's boxing career is now over.

At that time wasn't Toney still at light heavy/cruiserweight?


But yeah HW Toney goes the distance

[BigAlexSand]

Toney though old now, back then he would have gone the distance.

[papillon82]

Lewis by KO.

Toney was never a good heavyweight, he's just a smaller man who got lazy and fat.

[gmc_rfc_06]

Toney would have gone the distance.

Yes, he was never a real HW, but that defence was still a work of art at that point. He wouldn't have got hit clean too often, and even when he did, his chin was more than solid.

[Derranged]

I think Lewis could have stopped him, his uppercuts were a killer. Perfect punch when fighting a much smaller opponent.
