That version of Toney would give Joe all he could handle, but I can see Joe winning a decision. Joe would be a matchup problem for Toney, much like Roy Jones was a matchup problem for him. Toney was troubled by Jones handspeed and pretty much got owned in that fight. I don't rate a prime Joe C as good as a prime Roy Jones - not quite as fast and doesn't have the power, but I thinking Calzaghe's speed would allow him to cause Toney to have problems getting his punches off. Toney is at his best when he can counter, and it would be very hard (though not impossible) to consistantly burn Joe with counters. Wouldn't have chance in hell to hurt Toney, but his speed and workrate might win him a close decision. I can see Toney landing the cleaner and more effective punches, but lossing because Joe's combos look good the judges.
