HOlyfield v. TOney

[ICB]

Holyfield was wayyyy past his prime in that fight. Holyfield was completely exhausted when he went down. I like Toney but he wouldn't have been able to hold a candle to a prime Evander.

The Toney that fought Jirov at Cruiserweight vs Prime Holyfield at Cruiserweight would have been one not to miss.

I agree with you on that. But Holyfield would have been to much for Toney in a great fight.

Absolutely. I've always said that if Toney had just spent the majority of his career at cruiserwieight, he could have gone down as one of the greatest cruisers ever.

Instead he spent the early part of his career starving himself down to 160/168/175, and then spent his later years as a fat out-of-shape heavyweight.

Good fight yeah but when you compare A cruiser Holyfield to a cruiser Toney , theres no competition . Evander owns him just as he owns any cruiser in history . Of that I am certain .

Holyfield was way past his prime but it was still a solid performance, that was the weight Toney should have been at heavy, about 215-220, he could bounce on his toes and all of that. And Holy was past his prime but he'd at least been reasonably competitive in his last fight before that against Byrd.

Toney acted a little crazy after the fight but I remember watching that fight again on a download with British announcers and thought they made a bit much out of it. For one he was very respectful towards Holyfield which is the most important thing. And I can't get too outraged about knocking the microphone out of Jim Gray's hands, annoying prick.
