Toney lost to Rahman because of his conditioning no other reason. He was a much better boxer and wasn't hurt at all in the slightest by Rahman.
And to those of you who say he's done nothing in a decade, well was the Ring Fighter of the Year in 2003 following his UD of Jirov. He stopped Holyfield when nobody thought he could, he beat Ruiz with a shoulder injury. Come on on he's done alright. A poor performance against Rahman but he still wasn't beat.
If Toney gets himself fit and lays of the cigars I'd still pick him to beat anyone else at heavy.
Only Wlad has him beat I think and even there I think Toney would do ok. Wlad wouldnt stop him.
Why do we always need to add
if Toney did this and that, then he might blah blah blah blah? That is equal to say that if Wlad had moved his head against The Sniper then he would blah blah blah blah, or if Jeff Lacy had better boxing skills then he would had bashed Calzaghe.
Well give me one example of a heavyweight right now that you don't need IF's for? Wlad is the best out there IF he can overcome his weak chin. Brewster can win a title again IF he can get in a big punch. Valuev can hold on to his title for a year IF he decides not to defend it.
Lets move on to other weights, Joe Calzaghe can win a title at light heavy IF his hands hold up.
ODH can beat Mayorga IF he can overcome 2 years of ring rust and IF he has not gotten too old.
Coralles can beat Castillo IF he can resist fighting inside where he is going to get killed.
In fact can you give a single example of a fight where IF does not play a big factor.
Moron!
Moron!, thanks friend.
Well, Wlad is NOT rated if he can get over his week chin, he beat S. Peter and Byrd to get his ranking, so NO if he did.....cause he actually did!
Brewster and Valuev are able to do gret in the
future if blah blah, yep you are right - but you try to judge Toney in the past like if he had been in form against Rahman, then he would have won.....
Why dont you take Toney's actually results and ranking him by them insted of talking about what he could have done IF he had done perfectly?
