David Haye you have to figure could easily knock Kimbo flat out, and probably would. Still a chance he would be gunshy bareknuckle in a parking lot though. If you let anything at all besides clean punching slide anything could happen. Toney especially strikes me as a guy who would probably just get bullrushed to the ground a lot of the time in a real fight, these days at least.
We are assuming this bare knuckle fight would be all stand up and throwing hands, which is the way Kimbo did it back when he was fighting on the internet in street brawls. The rules were no taking it to the ground, all stand up using your fists.
In that situation, Kimbo would not stand a chance of even hitting Toney, and if by some freak chance he did hit Toney, it wouldn't do much besides piss James off. Toney or Haye easily KO Kimbo in a bare knuckle boxing match.
