Eddie Mustafa Muhammad vs James Toney @ 175

Two guys with incredible talent and skill who could have been all timers if they both weren't so fuckin lazy.

I'd definitely go with Eddie at 175 though. He was just a lot better at the weight, and from the outside I think he'd have a pretty clear edge, and he had the power to probably put Toney in a shell.

 

Muhammad at LHW, anything above that and Toney is favored

 

Toney is simply better. He wins this, unless he comes in fat as a cow

 

Toney better, based on what? Based on the fact that he twice lost to Griffin at lightheavy?

 

Im assuming that we take a motivated toney. If its the same guy that came in against griffin he lose, but if he cames in shape and motivated like he did against jirov he wins. Yeah that fight was at cw, but the reason toney sucked at lhw was not physically related

 

EMM was far better than the face first bum Jirov.

I dunno... I feel like Eddie''s performance against Marvin Johnson was more impressive than any single Toney performance.

Btw, Eddie should have a win on his record against Victor Galindez. He was robbed in that fight.

 

Maybe I underrate EMM because of the Scott fight, where he looked completely useless. He might have got distracted by the circumstances of that fight

 

EMM wins at light heavy. He was a bit of an underachiever but when he was on he was a beast.
