    I read that Tyson said he had too much respect for Foreman to fight him at that age. Mike was and is a big boxing history buff and he loved the "bad guys". Guys like Liston and Foreman were legends to him.

      I think the best heavyweight version of Toney wins. Just have a hard time imagining Tyson KO’ing Toney.

It would be a good fight but is Mike mentally tough enough to make adjustments once he doesn't put Toney to sleep in 3 or 4 rounds? For as explosive and offensively complete as Tyson is, Toney was a real slippery boxer when he moved up and put on weight.

            Maybe my memory fails me here, but the Toney that fought RJJ, he was more responsible then and more dedicated to training. Disagree?
            I heard, from a very reliable source, that James was funking around too much in training camp when not in the gym for the Jones fight. He was rolling around Vegas with Dr. Dre and the like when not training. James always busted his a$$ in the gym, always working hard. But he played just as hard when not in the gym...….Rockin'

                  Case in point.

                  That’s a new, creative, funny one.

                    Are you not aware that the “best heavyweight version” of James Toney couldn’t beat Sam Peter or Hasim Rahman or something?
