    Toney's positive test came on the heels of shoulder surgery...as you know steroids are used to shrink tissue during surgery.

    Toneys a great fighter, but I really don't care. An elite athlete has a responsibility to know if he is inadvertently cheating. I don't buy he didn't know anymore than I buy Vitaly didn't know. And if he didn't know the first time he damn well should have known the second.

    Has nothing to do with my opinion he'd beat Calzaghe's ass though. Toney was one of the purest fighters ever, it just came so natural to him.

    Calzaghe got a debatable decision and was dumped on his ass by an old Hopkins. What's he going to do against one of the best counterpuncher's in the sports history. Toney wide UD

    Some point about Calzaghe's close fought contest with Hopkins or with Reid, or disregarding the win over shot Jones?

    Again I am left to wonder why getting knocked down matters more than getting up from the knockdown and getting back into the fight and winning.

    Hey man, how's things?

    I enjoy reading your posts.

    No I wasn't making a point regarding the above, I was trying to be a smart arse.

    Joe had 46 fights, but fought Mario Veit twice.

    So 45 tried and failed. :lol:

    Joe was scared to go near Antwun Echols....he wouldn't go near a prime JT.

    Toney didn't have a say in what was used during surgery.

    not sure how anyone can work out an UD decision to Joe when he barely got a SD against old Hopkins.

    With prime on Toneys side his accuracy and damge inflicted is going to edge out Calzaghe last gasp volume flurries that miss mostly.


    On the other hand if it was in Wales Calzaghe might win if he bribes the ref to stop it after he lands a few slaps as he did with many of his defences,

    Headlines in morning

    -in wales - Calzaghe cruises to another tko win
    -outside wales - Toney badly robbed by cheat in Wales, WBO under threat of disbanding.
