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.
It is great to see a fellow Lyakhovich fan, even if you are a fan just because you are a racist bastard. We need all the fans we can get.
