    Tommy's only way to win this fight is by decision, as there's no way he'd KO the titanium chinned Toney.

    Tommy loved the knockout & I believe he would be goaded into a slugfest by the unpleasant Toney & that would be his downfall, meaning James would probably stop him lateish.

    Hearns could stop most people if he hit them right, Toney would be too elusive with his chin but Herans could still crack him all over.

    I can't stand Toney, and would probably WILL Hearns into KO'ing him if they ever fought in a prime vs. prime universe. You know..... mind over matter?

    I think Toney is a really really bad style for Hearns, great as the Hitman was I think he'd get stopped in the late rounds 9 out of 10 times. He'd clearly win rounds, and was capable of outboxing James for sure, but he'd have to be practically flawless in order to actually last the distance imo, Toney was as natural a counterpuncher as the sport has ever seen.

    I think this fight would be alot like Michael Nunn vs James Toney.

    Yeah, I could definitely see it going down in a similar manner.
    If you think you can......you can, if you think you can't .......you're right!

    Hearns would out box him and stay outside like he did with Benitez and not get suckered in. Toney was no Hagler.

    If Hearns can outbox Leonard and Benitez then he can do it againts Toney too.

    But Toney is a massive puncher at 160 and one shot can end it plus Toney has not suffered a one shot accident all his career with that defense so Hearns landing a schuler type of a right hand is very remote. Very interesting match.

    I'll go with Hearns.
