I dont really care who the opponent is, im just very excited that i might be able to see Toney live in action (no matter what shape or form...)!

Oh.. and...

Toney UD

I think Toney is done and finished quite honestly. I wouldn't be suprised if Danny shocked the world again and knocked Toney out, or at least his people decide to pull him out.

He should have lost Danny Batchelder, he's finished.

i'd love to be wrong as Toney is THE man but I'd be suprised if he can roll back the years any more.

Hate to say it but I have to agree with you Bilbo. Toney use to be one of my favorite fighters, I would love to see him make another run and be serious about loosing the wieght but I just don't see it happening anymore he doesn't have the discipline and the clock isn't on his side.

Im with Poom on this 1 id defo be thrilled to see Toney fighting in person and i think this could be a good fight, If they both turned up in some sort of shape, that isnt round.

toney should retire

Damn a little earlier they could have put it on the barkley/Mamby undercard.

Whichever one can stay away from the refrigerator will win. Almost certainly neither of them will be able to remain pie-free zones for a couple of months' training so it's a toss-up really. Two old shot fat bastards taking big swings at each other. Might even be worth watching. :)

Why the funk would Toney come over here to fight Willaims? He's still on more than peanuts.. surely?

What we saw in Toney-Peter II was the classic case of a "fighter growing old overnight." Toney is shot at this point. Almost 40 years old, 80 pro fights, tons of wars... he's done.

both these guys are shot and way over weight, they have more fun fighting over a batch of pies.

having said that toney may still get the better of a lazy williams with his pin point counter punching

The name for this fight....


The Battle of the Bulge!

Oh great! Just when boxing was enjoying something of a mini-revival in Britain, this comes along. 'Look kids! Look at these two fine specimens. Get down the gym and you could be just like them.'

If either fell asleep on a beach, you'd hear people screaming: 'It's alive - it's still ALIVE! Quick, get it back into the water!'

Well If Its coming from Boxingscene It gotta be bullshit.Toney Is one of my all time Favorites...hands down.His attitude and Bravado.That Inside slip and slide with a wicked 6" inch punch that reeked havoc.A blueprint for an all around ringmaster that In his Prime and at his best could have competed in ANY era and reigned as a Champion

Toney Has always been his own worst enemy.Lack of focus,self Disipline,and consistancy have also been a part of the deal.A stubborn ego and healthy confidence can sustain you a while, But Nis neck is wider than his head,His kick ass swagger has eroded to a faded waddle and Its becoming tired and boarderline sad. I think he should hang em' up .Thanks for the memories Champ. Leave the circus to the clowns .

The Battle of Gatekeepers

Suppose it makes a change form him fighting Skelton or Audrey.

Toney has been a bundle of let downs in recent appearances, but he probably still has enough to beat Williams. Might even stop him.

Is this fight really a possibility? :confused:

Williams new promoter hopes this will be for an eliminator for the WBC title. www.http://www.secondsout.com/USA/news.cfm?ccs=229&cs=23888

What a joke, if it is they are both shot fighters and i doubt that either fighter could last 8rounds in a competitive fight and what have they done to deserve a title shot???

You, know what?
Credit to Danny. He's never shy of an effort.

You can criticise him for a lot, but he's always tried to take the big jumbe and nobody can take away the fact that he tries his hardest and would dearly love to fight the best.

Is this a boxing fight or a sumo wrestling bout?

This will be horrible. Just horrible to watch.

Probably my favorite fighter ever but Toney needs to retire. Not sure if he has money issues or just likes to fight but this is pointless.

Rollie Pollie Toney back at it again I hope he get's his ass kicked

This got me thinking... how about a Toney vs. Vargas pizza eating contest on the Oscar-Floyd undercard? I'd pay to see it.
