Haha. I'm a fellow James Toney fan, to the point where I'd probably cite him as my favorite of all time.
I say the Toney of 2003-2006, the one who whipped Holyfield and got robbed against Sam Peter, would have made guys like Haye eat their balls.
BUT, I have to say, the thought of him getting in there with a top 10 guy now is kinda scary. Years ago he struggled against fringe guys like Rahman and Oquendo, and that was 5 years ago. He looked awful against Lebedev, and his handspeed and reflexes have taken a bad dive over hte past few years.
I'd rather see him retire without a KO loss on his record. I think Haye would give him a brutal one at this point.
