Stylistically... it doesn't make sense...
You take a legend in MMA versus a legend in Boxing, in an MMA fight...
Not that Toney doesn't have a punchers chance, but it is the ONLY thing he's got.
If I were in Randys shoes I would chop on Toneys legs
1 thing Boxers have problems with other than takedowns are legkicks
From a business point of view, it is probably the only logical thing you could do with a guy like James Toney at your hands...
You can't give him B-level competition, because he has a legitimate name in the world of professional sports...
Personally these kind of fights excite me though... It's one of these fights that will "show that MMA/Boxing is better than Boxing/MMA" as certain fundamentalistic obsessors would have put it...
Although im a general fight fan, the Ray Mercer KO of Tim Sylvia really did hurt deep!
TIME FOR REVENGE! ~ONLY ON PAY-PER-VIEWWWWW

I think this is in some way nice because it sounds like a fight where MMA is going back to it's roots.
Wasn't MMA created to get different styles of martial arts in the ring/cage to see who is the best in general?
I don't know the full background of Toney, like did he ever train anything else than boxing but we will see it now.
I do think Randy will win this though, he is used to doing these kind of fights and still has skill, however a KO is always a threat. Would I buy a PPV (if I would do this normally) because of this match up. No way, but I would like to see it for free
