Toney Vs Gunn

[Slim the BoxingManiac]

Toney needs to retire. I hope he gets his ass handed to him. I'm sure he still thinks that the Klitschkos are still ducking him.

[Manos de Piedra]

Toney is old and like Roy he also needs to retire.

[Majesty]

Wonder if he is gonna come into this fight slimmed down too.

I think the odds on him chomping on a double bacon cheeseburger during the ringwalk would offer lower returns than Toney coming in fit and fighting.

Toney needs to stay busy this year and have 3 fights. This one, a top 10 and then a title shot. If Chisora can have that success with Vitali then Toney can do better.

I don't count Toney's last fight as he was clearly badly injured early on. He is better at HW anyway. He doesn't need to worry so much about speed and keeping up with smaller, faster opponents. He can take a shot from anyone and has the smarts if wobbled.

Hahah, really? Chisora isn't special but he is a solid young heavyweight who brings some nice physical tools to the ring, he isn't a bad fighter. Toney would have no chance against him or of doing better than he would against literally anyone at this point, let alone Vitali. To say otherwise is nuts really, James couldn't win a round against freaking Ledbedev.

I will not hear a bad word said about James Toney. He could beat Vitali Klitscho, Chisora and Haye at once whist simultaneously eating Burger King whoppers. He is that talented. Once you join the JFAT alliance you never leave.

It was obvious that Toney injured his knee in the second round of the Lebedev fight thus I don't count it as meaningful.

James Toney needs to make a point in this fight to make up for last time out, if not then he should retire. It really is getting late in the day and there are only so many times Toney can keep going back to the drawing board.

Mind you I have no doubt that Manny Steward urged the Klit brothers to stay away from Toney and it has been obvious in the way they have fought everyone except him. For instance why did Rahman get a shot after Toney/Rahman 2? They avoided Toney in his prime.
