You have to think of Toney's style vs Ali or Foreman or Marciano or Tunney or Charles or the likes...& that's a broad range...but Toney's style teleported back to the days...

Toney woulda given them all hell...& I don't like JFAT one bit...but he's an amazing tactician on the inside & he woulda confused & befuddled all of the above...had he come in at Cruiser shape.
The only type of fighter who could trouble Ali was some one who got on the inside with head work (like fraizer) and could punch... toney can't do either at heavyweight... Ali keeps him at range for a comfortable UD
