    Toney v Jirov = Fury v Wallin. Change my mind.

    Everybody is coming out to say how shot Fury looked but overlook what happens when a defensive orthodox shoulder roller goes up against a highly offensive southpaw. Toney had one of his toughest fights against Jirov and had to rally in the later rounds to turn it around. Tyson like Toney struggles against flat footed southpaw boxer punchers. Especially ones who are physically smaller and that can split the guard.
    Tyson and Toney's first instinct is to slip punches in order to land their own. For obvious reasons Fury couldn't slip those shots well and had to wait for Wallin to gas.

    Vassily Jirov was tge 1996 Olympics gold medalist at light heavyweight, and eight formal defenses into his 4-year run as IBF cruiserweight champion when he fought James Toney, lol.

    Otto Wallin had a middling amateur career that got him a novice title and medals for a few Swedish tournaments, who was basically 2-3 fights away from a prospect vs prospect showdown with Franklin to have one of them then be a contender.

    Trying to equate the two makes you look dumb
