Wladimir Klitschko fights again on 11-11-06 @ Madison Square Garden. Who tho?
Plenty of options.
Let's discuss...because let's face it...Klitschko is damned near the best out there @ 200+.
Pick somebody...anybody...whether you think they'd win...or you just want to see Wlad fail or whatever...let's just talk it out.
Re: Wladimir Klitschko fights again on 11-11-06 @ Madison Square Garden. Who tho?
i voted james toney. yes, he's a fat gobshite, but he deserves one more chance seeing as he blobbed out against rahman....
if he is willing to try and redeem himself against arguably the best and most dangerous heavyweight out there then the guy has balls and i would like to see it....
im a toney fan, but i know as well as anyone that a fat toney may very well get bombed out of there....but a focussed toney might do somewhat better...
whether toney can really get up for running off some of those pounds in training is another matter though....
regardless, i choose toney. it might end his career....but with toney there is always the element of the unknown, maybe he can make it interesting one more time....

Good post miles.
I voted Toney too...mainly because Jirov (at cruiser) showed Toney a bit of trouble & I think that Toney (at cruiser) was in pretty damned good shape for that fight & I consider Wlad the best heavy out there now...& I just can't wait to see Toney get his fat ass get pounded into shape...the shape of an oil stain. ;D

Talk to me person...talk to me.

thanks wacko...
agreed. wlad may very well destroy toney, but if toney really is the fighter and warrior he claims to be then it will be very interesting to see how toney responds to the possible bombardment and punishment wlad can dish out....will toney be able to dig in and test wlad or will he ultimately crumble....
byrd fell apart, but i think toney brings a different kind of fight to the table. its hard to hit him flush, wlad will waste plenty of punches trying to find his target....you can hit toney but you waste punches on the way because of his ever rolling style. my worry with regards to toney is the rahman fight. was that a sign of things finally catching up with toney or was it a blip because of poor preparation. he wasnt able to press for 12 rounds and to be honest, to beat wlad you need to pressure, pressure, pressure and hopefully you can make him implode from sheer effort. toneys skills are undeniable but he needs the physical aspects to maximise his inbuilt boxing skills. its his only way of beating wlad...
toney isnt stupid, but he might be a little pig headed, whence the continual ballooning....
if he can lose weight, hit the road and then we have an intriguing twilight toney fight, if not then it could mean the final dismantling of a long, long career....

Wait, how come Toney "deserves" another shot? Geez, the guy got one against Ruiz... steroids, then another against Rahman... just plain laziness, and those two things equal "deserving" another shot? Maybe this is why the heavyweight division lingers on in the mess it's in because these names keep getting "shots" just because they're names... I mean I realize that most of the prospects right now are pretty green, but who knows, lets dump the tubs of lard and the "just-good-enough-to-get-bys" already and start seeing some of these younger guys get shots.
Re: Wladimir Klitschko fights again on 11-11-06 @ Madison Square Garden. Who tho?
So yeah... I voted Shannon Briggs... cause he's... young... and... umm... wait no... ;D

Let me just ask you this...if that fat ass was on your way to unification...wouldn't you want to stomp the shat outta his big mouthy lard ass?
I mean...just as a bonus?
Sure you would. ;D

Oh wer'e on the same page Howard...you just haven't realized that in the end...all those trinkets are indeed toys for little boys who can hardly say their ABC's...much less win them all.

On that note...who did you vote for in the poll...& if you didnt vote...who'd you want Wlad to face next?
