Mike Tyson (96) vs James Toney (03)

Mike by knockout, this is honestly a mismatch, Toney has no path to victory here.

 

Holyfield, no fan of mike, said tyson would have killed Toney.

Believe it or not ....Holyfield and Tyson have no bad blood ....He’s been a guest on Tyson’s podcast

 

Bad style match for toney honestly. Mike loved just rolling over slick boxers. Toney stood too straight up also. Like even the Tyson who ko golota and etienne prolly wins imo.

 

I kind of see this like Tyson's fight with Brian Nielsen.
Toney's defensively great and tough as old leather, but offensively he's a non-threat here.
I'm sure Toney would go into a shell and just try to survive, basically.

 

Tyson tko 3

Tyson still had fast hands and major power. He had lost footspeed by now but it wouldn't matter against Toney. The referee would be forced to stop this one.

 

Toney stood straight up ? LOL No

 

Oompaaa Tyson stops Toney in 3.
Tyson even here, batters him that fast and hard that the ref has to jump in quickly.

 

At this stage, Mike probably had enough left to win a decision. What most forget, Toney never really was a heavyweight, he started out at 160 and only entered the heavyweights at 35.

 

Not enough steroids in the world to keep Toney competitive with Tyson when they were both nearly equally declined.
It would seem unlikely Toney could avoid being stopped.
Even with all his defensive acumen.
He could not win.

 

In the jirov fight? Watch it again he spends half the fight shelled up leaning back. Yes hes toney so he had head movement but his laid back posture style was a bad match for mike.

 

I picked Toney because Tyson was far past his prime in 1990 against Douglas. It stands to reason he was even further declined at 29 than he was at 23.

 

Oh I ****ing wonder
