JT's IBU title could be on the line too, channel 5 can market as a world title bout...

he's a spiteful, classless old man.

He had a good career in his prime but these days he's just a joke.

He lost his right to "respect" by being a complete turd of a human being

I do hope they put him in with someone decent next. Since the chisora fight hes had Pajik who was undefeated but should have been routine a shot rogan and the fella from brazil who he sparked in an untidy scrap. fingers crossed

It's not hate for Toney. It's hate for this fight even being talked about, fact is he is a fat 40 year old middleweight that can't speak anymore. People are talking about him fighting a 6'9" volume puncher in his 20's ffs.

I want to see Fury against people like Kevin Johnson, David Price, Chisora again, Michael Grant. Even a defence of the Commonwealth against Shane Cameron would shit on a potential Toney fight.

I'm a Fury fan, The first 3 fights on 5 were great entertainment and you could condone all of them and Tyson winning each of them in differing style you could half accept a step down.

But if he took this it would only add more fuel to the Circus claims from likes of BN and co.

Juke names some good names there, I'd like to see him fight realistically the likes of Tor Hamer or lads named above like Johnson,Grant and Cameron.

At this point i think there trying to settle Tyson down, I think the Uncle who trains him at the moment is a thinker, seems to have a plan and alongside Clifton Mitchell is trying to get Tyson boxing again which for a little while (after traning with Manny) he was doing then maybe the personal stuff dragged him down a bit.

I mean his kid was very ill, i wasn't happy he was fighting at that point personally. He's a young man and that's a awful amount of pressure on him to fight 3 bouts against 2 undefeated guys and a solid journeyman in quite quick succession. People don't realize how much pressure he has from his family..

A fight with Toney would be for nothing, other than a fairly entertaining build up. I would bet against Toney in most fights these days (nevermind fights at the top level), he's been too fat, lost too much weight, hit too many times, lost too much speed, lost that edge with reactions and almost lost the ability to speak (sadly). There are far better fights for Fury, but from a pure entertainment perspective it might increase his audience a little...so I might find myself rolling my eyes in a few weeks.

this. couldnt agree more. id just like to see fury punch him around the ring like lebadev did. and then cringe at the post fight interview after , saying he'll be back for the "bitchko sisters etc etc etc". Cunt.

They couldn't get Botha to fight here so it's not likely to happen.

Fury is just biding his time in my opinion, waiting for his opportunity. That said, he did look decent in his last outing with a very disciplined performance. A fight with Toney wouldn't last that long and maybe Henessey wants Fury to get some rounds under his belt, hence the durable if crap opponents.

Cameron would actually be a decent fight. Only been in with 3 fighters ive heard off and one of them was way way past his best of gatekeeper level but at least he would try and fight and not come just for a pay check. Kingpin is who id look for tho. hes probably the modern gatekeeper hes awkward but i think Tysons works rate would sort him out
