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?
    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

    I disagree dear..

    To destroy toney would imply that he would be stopped..

    and nobody ever stops james toney..

    Its a deep deep fight for haye and the risk to reward ratio does not match up for hayemaker

    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...

    David Haye didn't even unify the titles at cruiserweight....so he didn't beat ALL the best he just beat Mormeck. I don't rate Maccarinelli at all. How many times has James Toney been knocked down much less knocked out??

    Give me the answer and tell me if you feel a LITTLE like you've been drinking the David Haye Kool Aide.


    Just to be honest and show my impartiality I dislike James Toney more than any fighter not named Floyd Mayweather Jr. but I give the guy respect for his skill

    Mormeck had the belts, Haye beat him, Macarinelli had the other one, Haye beat him.

    Toney is shot, and at this point in his career he wouldnt last with Haye.

    I hate David haye, but i know if these two got in the ring, Haye would demolish him

    Reggie Johnson 1991 - Legit knockdown. - Got up to win

    Roy Jones - Flashy but taunting back put him off balance

    Sam Peter 2.. Stood toe to toe on his heels and put off balance by a jab.

    I believe thats all of them.

    Stopped - Never..

    The recent Hasim Rahman vs. James Toney heavyweight fight has been declared a 'No Decision' by the California State Athletic Commission
    so i would like to see him fight Rahman again

    Well I'm just trying to be rational about the whole situation and like clockwork the rabid Joe Calzaghe hooligan fans go apeshit crazy.


    Yes Calzaghe is a good fighter BUT you can't look past what James Toney accomplished in his career. Toney fought tougher competition, he beat better fighters, and his defense pretty freaking good even today.
