i take byrd by UD. when toney first moved up to heavyweight i was torn about who would win but after toney's last couple of fights i'm leaning towords byrd. i didn't see the first toney peter fight so i won't speak on that.

toney hasn't been looking quite that slick latety to me. in the rahman and the peter rematch he seemed to be eating a decent amount of jabs. toney still dodges the big shots but byrd doesn't throw big shots.

toney also seems to be in getting in worst shape every fight. byrd on the overhand can box an move for 12rds.
