Only time will tell this. I was simply saying he was big enough. I'd also go for Haye to beat Toney now.

I probably would have said the same at some point, but when I actually think about it and try to depict how the matchup would go, I just don't see Haye doing to well against James. Toney has way to much ring craft for Haye, who relies on his physical assets alone. James brings more skills into the fight than everyone Haye has fought combined imo, wheras Toney has dealt with anything Haye brings numerous times. You actually think Haye would win a decision against Toney, or be the first man to stop him? I'm saying hell no, he'd completely fall apart in the late rounds once he tired out trying to land a big shot, or if he tried to pace himself and box, he would lose every single round.
Well I think Sam Peters boxing skills are a lot more limited than Hayes but he took a clear decision over Toney second time around so yes i tink he would take a decision against him. Although even though Toney has a good chin no man could stand up to too many of Hayes Hayemakers and with Toneys advancing years to take into account he could well be the first man to KO him.

As a side note though the pre match poster would be a good advertisement for an anti-drug campaign. Picture of the muscular Haye saying "Say No to Drugs and look like me" and one of Toney saying "Look at me. I took Steroids".
