Toney having his back turned was a deliberate exaggeration, Lyle. Of course he's not gonna have his back turned to Wlad. I myself am not a huge fan of the shoulder roll, especially if it's overdone in a fight. And that's the only defense Toney would have against Wlad. Wlad is not the most agile heavyweight in history... but he's pretty athletic and might figure out somewhere along the line that the left hook would be a pretty good weapon. BUT.... by throwing that left hook, he'd leave himself open to a well-timed counter by Toney, which could lead to trouble, given Wlad's susceptibility to a clean hard shot.
More likely than not, the fight would become boring, with Toney overdoing the shoulder roll to the point of nausea.... and Wlad jabbing and poking his way in, while at the same time being overly cautious not to get caught by a counter.
