168 pounds. Toney at his best was a beast. And that version I would take to stop Ward. If he comes in out of shape, I think Ward decisions him.
Could go either way Ward has the right style to make Toney look bad it's a terrible fucking fight, either way Toney's more eye-catching countershots might win him the decision
Would be more competitive than Jones-Toney, but same type of fight and possibly same result. Not an endorsement for Ward, just not a great style matchup for Toney
I'd like to take Toney by KO but Ward hasn't given me any reason to doubt his chin. Secondly, he's awkward as all hell to box and manages to tie up, headbutt and do all type of tomfoolery to artificially shorten rounds. Ward by a close decision just based on being a really good spaz and being one of the toughest guys to counter at the higher weight classes that I can remember in a while....if the dude has one strength at elite, world level is that he makes very few mistakes, ties up and leaps in and out with speed and leaves almost no countering opportunities, so he tends to win a lot of fights wide these days..
