James Toney (1991) vs Canelo Alvarez (2019) at middelweight who wins and why

[therealpugilist]

If Canelo presses Toney too hard then he gets busted up by counterpunching and stopped. If he boxes then he loses a wide UD.

yea i can see that 'nelo isnt busy enough to trouble toney

James Toney

[Cobra Curry]

Toney for me.

[HitmanTommy]

Canelo is a hype job.

[Boxing56]

Toney wins.

A focused Toney is an ATG. Problem with Toney is Toney, only reason he got beat.

Toney is a level above Canelo. Toney beats both Triple G and Canelo at 160.

Toney is better at everything. Funnily enough, they have the same weakness, cement feet. For all of Toney's slickness, he couldn't bounce around the ring for 12 rounds, which is why he had so much trouble with Roy Jones and Michael Nunn. The problem is, Canelo's feet are even slower. Canelo's chin carried him up to 175. Toney's chin carried him up to heavyweight. Canelo's slower feet and lack of stamina down the stretch, is pretty much James fighting a handicapped version of himself. I don't see how Canelo can win.

they'd be ****ing countering missing each other by millimeters, wish it was possible to see

Yeah neither would give an inch. Would be a great matchup stylistically.

... Cash cow canelo wouldn't have given Toney a shot... he would have low balled him and, then, would have said that Toney priced himself out...

Toney ruins him. Would rather see the fight at 168 though.
