    Default Who should James Toney fight next?

    The second Toney: Rahman fight was odd. Toney looked like he was sleeping the first round off. In the second round he was closing the gap and actually threw a couple of meaningful punches. In the third I thought Toney was beginning to actually look good. And then it was over. I would really have liked to have seen the fight go on just to gauge where Toney is really at in terms of workrate and stamina and being able to consistently land telling blows without taking to many breathers.

    So where next for Toney? I would like to see him fighting soon. Time is limited and he has maybe 3 fights in him if he is to fight for another year or so. Toney isnt going to get a title shot based on 3 rounds with Rahman so its probably going to be another fight with someone ranked in the top 20. Danny Williams is hovering around there and Ive heard his name bandied about before. Would be an okay stay busy fight for Toney. Golota would be a funny matchup with Toney. Hilarious differences in size! Maybe even Maskaev?

    There are a few fighters he could target. What are your thoughts?

    Maybe a fight with Povetkin or the winner of Tua Arreola, Or (GASP) a fight with David Hayes.

    Yes, a Tua fight would be quite interesting and maybe fun to watch. And of course, I would love to see Toney fight Haye. If Toney is at a similar level to where he was in the first Peter fight then I think he beats Haye.

    That would be good. Brock or Eddie Chambers would be a good fight.

    Interesting . . .

    If he cant K.O Sergie I duno if he could outwork him. Yeah it would be a decent est but if I was part of Team Toney I wouldnt go in that direction . Id secure him a safer bet . But from a fans perspective as you say it would answer questions.

    Well I am a big fan of both guys. SL is my man. But him and Toney both need a big fight to get them into a title shot I think. As a fan, I actually think it would be a great fight and the winner would get a chance.

    Let this FAT and OVERRATED burger get to Europe and get some fights under his belt instead of fighting bums in America - the future of the division is in Europe, so let Toney fight here - Vladimir Virchis, Sultan Ibragimov, Alexander Dimitrenko and Serguei Lyakhovich would be good and level ups opponents for the fat guy.

    Im not even mad at your post..

    Because the genuine chance toney has to beat all of those guys makes me want him to fight them just to let you see

    in fact lyakhovich is the only guy i really rate with much of a chance.. just down to workrate.. i.e the brewster fight NOT the briggs lol

    But...you are really stupid.

    Haye would just "destroy" James Toney? You have been soaking up the UK media too long. Nobody destroys James Toney. You need some boxing history lessons. David Haye? FFS....

    Im stupid, and need histroy lessons, because I believe David Haye would destroy James Tony?

    Tony is a shell of what he was, people just dont like Haye because he runs his mouth all the while.

    He has beaten the best in his weight division, and he is moving up. James Toney has nothing left to offer, unless he is ramming himself with steroids.

    Haye would stop Toney...simple as.

    Its my opion, doesnt mean I am stupid...
