What a shame Toney/Adamek wasn't made and Dan Rafael should be an Olmypics sponser

[captainanddew]

I've not really been clued up on my boxing news recently, but just heard that Toney/Adamek was on and then called off by Adamek's team and how apparently there was a whole load of criticism of the fight from the likes of Jabba the 'I dribble globules of cheese on my beard' Rafael.

I am well peeved at this as I think that would have been a fantastic matchup. Sure Toney is old blah, blah blah, but the man is still a well tuned fighter with more smarts than ANYONE in his division. Adamek is not the cream of the crop and looks to be on the slide himself. Toney/Adamek would have been a fight between two names looking for a last shot at the top. There was nothing wrong with the matchup. Nobody would be getting hurt and we would have an intriguing contest.

Instead we get the likes of Dan Rafael heaping criticism on the bout and subsequently the Adamek camp pulls out. It pisses me off. Holyfield has had chance after chance over the years and yet you look at Toney and he just doesn't get any breaks. Nobody wants to fight the man.

I feel sorry for Toney and hope he follows up on his promise to do something to Rafael. Though I fear if he attempts a body shot we would likely never see Toney again. Toney would likely be sucked into the gravitational force and be consumed within a belly so large and foul that only cowpat sized mounds are known to emerge from it. Dan Rafael is the kind of man that means plumbers will never be short of a job.

JFAT for life.

you are so far offbase.

you obviously didn't see toney vs lebedev last november. toney looked like he should not have been licensed. He is beyond shot.

dan rafael is a fat piece of shit, but he is right about this.

I have watched Toney/Lebedev several times and I see the same thing every time. Toney twisting his leg early and not being able to overcome it thereafter. He finished the fight like a man and though clearly outboxed, had his justification for it. I buy into it. It was obvious what happened. I knew watching it live that it was over from that point on. That wasn't James Toney. A better example of suggesting Toney has fallen is Toney/Peter 2, but Toney was obviously out of shape for that. It served him right. Lebedev/Toney doesn't really mean anything from my perspective.

I am glad to see that the popular viewpoint is that Rafael is a fat piece of shit. A man like that should never accuse Toney of being out of shape. The man is a freak beached whale with limbs.

The only reason I'd like to see Toney fight anyone at this point, would be to see him get knocked THE FUCK out. I never liked him before he became a slurring whale.... I certainly don't like him now, and someone should do a "Pac-Hatton" on him for his own good. As a way of saying: "Please... get the hell out of boxing, you fat-ass, has-been."
