IBF won't sanction Wlad v Toney

[Gandalf]

I don't care what anyone says, it's still a fight I wouldn't mind seeing. It should have happened a few years ago really and I guess Toney has shown his commitment to boxing by not fighting since Greer and going into that horrid floor humping carry on. But regardless, even at 42, I bet Toney could go the distance with Wlad. At 36 and in the right shape, I would even give him a shot at beating Wlad.

[SEANIE]

I wonder if they would sanction a fight against Holyfield?

HAHAHA toney, a guy that hasnt been in a boxing ring for ages, is fat, well past his best and got beat in 3 minutes in a ufc fight.

Way to go wlad. Way to go!

[Beanflicker]

I would have loved to see this fight 4 or 5 years ago. Toney is way too shot now.

Absolutely, 5 years ago Toney would have given either brother a good go. That's probably why wlad wants to fight him now.

#1 Unlike Audley, Toney was at one point a World Class heavyweight

#2 James Toney is apparently WILLING to fight Wlad

#3 Boxing isn't MMA and vice versa

#4 No fight has been signed yet, so put a lid on it HF, especially since YOUR BOY is fighting a horrible heavyweight.

If Wlad cannot fight a credfivle opponent for December give it a miss until he can he looks desperate at this rate.

Wlad and Manny are trying to make up for lost time because he missed out on some time due to surgery last year. Manny is trying to liven up Wlad's style and there's no reason not to...given the competition out there right now he could have just kept his old style and been a dominant champ.

Stop crying and face facts. Wlad wants to fight a toney or a chisora.

Pathetic.


And for the a millionth time. Show me a post where I defended Haye vs Fraudley. You need to stop bringing it up. It doesn't change the fact wlad is looking to fight any old bum that will sign any old contract.

There's a tramp at the bottom of my road who got contacted by wlad for a fight....

Even a Toney in his 40's is a far more significant challenge than Audley bloody Harrison. Many would regard Haye/Toney as a fairly decent fight (though against a Toney obviously past his best). Most regard Haye/Harrison as a complete joke.

#1 Wlad wants A fight and right now it's hard for him to find a decent challenger. He's just that good, face it.

#2 What is wrong with Wlad wanting an extra fight and by the way NO FIGHT HAS BEEN SIGNED YET so just be patient HF, it's not like Wlad is going after Audley Harrison

Derek chisora is actually a rather dangerous fight considering he is a complete unknown quantity at world level and has shown domestically he has the heart and quite a bit of skill to back up his shout for a go at the big boys

toney however is a complete shot fighter now who has nothing left in the tank and is merely taking pummelings for cash

Nah mate, not a chance. He did what he did to Holyfield because Evanders Shoulder was badly injured. Even though he was waaaaay past his best if that had been a genuinely in shape Evander Toney would have got it handed to him big time. Wlad now would destroy any version of Toney, he is naturally too big for any 5'9 MW who's added 80lbs of fat to his body no matter how good a p4p fighter he was. This fight would be like Wlad fighting Hopkins if Hopkins added a shit load of fat and weighed around 230lbs.

[No Contest]

This is gonna sound desperate and sad maybe, but I think Toney has as good a chance as anyone to upset Wlad. Yeah he is horribly out of shape right now, but he has the technical ability to get inside and do work. He knows all the tricks in the book, and will probably have some tricks up his sleeve for the inside fighting(headbutts, hold and hit, etc). If he could just get into some kind of decent shape I'd give him a shot. IBF is full of shit on this one IMO.
