Hearns vs Toney @ 160

[Spicoli]

I lean to Toney with it going to inside game and balance & control. Toney frankly dogged it in some matches...timed rounds and could coast leaving him there to be out hustled but man, he was a master at rolling with long shots and feeding sneak shots. More pressure puts a rockable Hearns inside down the stretch, I think Toney can take what he has worse case but Hearns will have a far worse time dealing with sharp counters, how James could use upper body as a mass feint and just Toney in top form really.

Excellent fight !

Have to agree with consensus here that Toney would be too durable and clever for Hearns, and counter that right hand with his own right hand all night until he knocked Hearns out.

James Toney may be embarassing himself now, but he was a magnificent boxer and counter puncher with a legendary chin.

LOVE a hypothetical matchup.

Very good one here indeed. Shame what has happened to Toney really he was sooooo good and slick at 160... he is remembered too much for his blob appearences at Heavy tho which is a real shame.

hmmmm... Hearns was one of my faves of all time but I am not sure if I can see him getting through to a young sharp slick Toney.

Toney decision.
