    Chris Byrd held a title, Toney never did.....the fat slob had to use PEDs to beat John Ruiz :patsch

    Actually the Klitschkos offered fights to Toney on more than one occasion and he always priced himself out of it....so who's ducking?

    Offering an opponent $200 or some offensive sum to fight is a form of ducking.
    The Klits are notoriously known for nickel and dimeing opponents. :yep

    Don King.

    I wanted to see Wlad vs. Ruiz in the fall of 2007, but the fight never happened.

    James Toney would have been murdered by either one of the Klitschko brothers.

    Your lack of boxing knowledge is disheartening.

    The bigger question is why was Toney Scared of Calzaghe?

    He knew all the roids in the world couldn't help him with the " work rate ".
    :deal

    Did Toney relocate and fight in Europe where the HW scene was strongest?
    Toney was losing to S Peters who was beaten by the Klitschkos, but Peter did travel to Europe

    Didn't Toney complain he was "only" offered $1.6m so he went and fought Sam Peter instead? Toney complained they K2 were "lowballing" him and he declined them. Fast forward a couple years and he's still begging for a fight. What a pathetic, fat, lazy ****.

    If Toney fought either of the Klitschkos, he would be slurring his words even worse than he is now.
