Toney was offered the Fury fight
James Toney was even offered the fight with Fury when Haye pulled out.
Scraping the barrel a bit there but spose they need a name.
Cant imagine it would have been for the original date if Wilder wasnt seen as a good enough opponent. Must have been just as a stay busy fight.
Re: Toney was offered the Fury fight
Toney is done and should no longer be looked at as a contender or gatekeeper.
Re: Toney was offered the Fury fight
Thankfully we only have a couple of years left until someone forces Toney to retire and we don't have to endure any more of his traveling circus.

You people have no respect for the JFAT alliance.
Re: Toney was offered the Fury fight
Dude thats sad. Who offered that exactly ???
Re: Toney was offered the Fury fight
But Martinez is to big for Cotto. A junior middle that grew out of 154 barely, has now a massive weight advantage over another that out grew 147 and presently fights at 154? Oh I know the irony. Toney would probably outweighs Fury;D

The press conferences for this fight would have to be held in Burger King!

Dear god man! I hope Toney handed the keys over to someone there. Can you imagine the press conference between those two? It would have to be held using voice overs and flash cards ffs.

For all his bluster he knows that Fury would now be too much for him.
Toney did go the distance with the supposed big puncher Lucas Brown and even had him hurt so stopping Toney wouldn't have been a bad statement for a fill in fight for Fury.
Be interesting to know who else was offered the fight.
Re: Toney was offered the Fury fight
Toney got a way slimmer recently, maybe he was able to fight his burger addiction
I want him to make some "hype job" look terrible regardless the outcome
