Toney is past his ripening date ? Sam is more than a busy well used sparring partner? The US is now below the UK in quality heavyweights? I think Eric's right it's just entertainment.
If this is a 4 round format the sad thing is Toney could win the thing and maybe even run away with it. Probably get a shot at Wlad for doing so or maybe Vitali. That would be a nice 7 figure payday to end his career on.
I don't think his career will ever end, not as long as Toney can stand up.
I can't understand why they let the old, truly done, guys in the door. It's a shame the spotlight will not be on the young fighters like it should be.
Problem is he is still competetive. He fought Lucas Browne this year who is huge and supposedly a massive puncher. Toney had him wobbling in the fight and wasnt bad for shape he was in. He lost on activity.

You cant stop someone fighting because they arent the young fighter you want to see any more. Toney used to lose every other fight when he was young anyway!

If you stop someone like Toney fighting youd have to stop all the journeymen that are needed as fodder for inexperienced, novice pros who are learning.
