    I see Toney winning the fight. I don't see it being a great fight unless its a slugfest.

      The results could be the same, but Toney doesn't hold nor covers him self of the ropes the way Ali did.

        Style wise suggests a very near comparison.

        Peter the big King Kong heavy handed puncher vs Toney the smaller trash talking superior boxer.

          Minus the fact that most experts are predicting Toney to win, and that Toney never struggled with a guy Peter embarassed, you kind of have a point.

            This is going to be more like Foreman-Frazier...

              I did think this for a fleeting second, but only b/c I was trying to imagine Toney knocking Peter out. It is a hard thing to imagine, like Ali knocking Foreman out.
