    Toney one of the smartest most natural boxers out there but as seen in the Roy Jones fight could be undone by freakish talent and athleticism.

    It'd be the same here, Toney forgot more about boxing than Tyson knows but the physicality gap is just too vast.

      You can only have a conversation when someone is willing to talk. Tyson came to destroy (or be destroyed).

        It took a lot less than “freakish talent and athleticism” for Toney to come undone.

        I don’t see any evidence that would suggest that Toney knows more about Boxing than Mike Tyson.

          - -Two ton Toney never had a prime.

          He had an eating/personality disorder that blubbered him out of every wt division he was in.

            Toney while shot, past prime and having no legs could stand in front of Sam Peter and make him look foolish

            Tyson when slightly past prime got ktfo by Williams and mcbride

            Toney is the FAR more intelligent fighter and its not debatable

                  Slightly past prime against Danny Williams?

                  Yeah Toney made Peter look foolish by losing to him and he wasn’t shot at all at that point either certainly not to the level Mike Tyson was.

                  Neither were overly intelligent fighters in the ring really in all honesty.

                    Hype train? Lol you mean a damn unstoppable locomotive freight train that would’ve crushed the likes of Holyfield and Lennox and Bowe if Cus was still in his life!

                    All of them knew the version of Mike they fought wasn’t the best!

                      Prime Toney wasn't a HW, though I honestly consider his bigger version more refined, thus probably prime at that later age.

                      HW toney I think wins a UD.

                      While Tyson could box when he wanted to, Toney is one of the more slick, high ring IQ fighters in modern history. Similar to cats like ODLH, he only fell off due to out of the ring irresponsibility, not lack of talent, heart, etc.

                      Not many fighters do I favor over him.

                      Now, where is IronDanHamza to argue otherwise
