I think we'd be looking at a fight with tight scorecards regardless of who comes out on top here.

Toney fought well at Light Heavyweight in spite of the official results he was saddled with. Watch the 2 Montell Griffin fights, and tell me Toney didn't win them. Especially the 2nd one.

Both of these guys present a stylistic problem for the other. I'm thinking Adonis' greater power could be the difference. Toney has greater skill, and defense, but he maybe would need to land 2 punches to 1 to have the same impact in the eyes of the judges as Stevenson's heavier shots.

Hard one to call. I'd pick Stevenson I guess.

I haven't seen Toney-Griffin fights in quite some time. But my memory was that it was 1-1. Montell had a case for a win in one of them. I'll try to rewatch and re-score it.
