    What the hell has Toney ever done to deserve a shot at the Klits. But I'd love to see him fight Vitali because he has talked alot of ****, and I'd love to see him knocked the **** out!

    I dont think he'd have been able to beat either Klit, and i think both would have ended up stopping him aswell.

    I thought Toney was negotiating for a fight with Wlad at one point, but claimed the money was too low.

    Yes. He wanted 25 bucks and lifetime free card at MCDonalds and Burger King instead of 500k they offered)

    v. klitschko once said it would be a no win situation for him to fight toney. it wasn't for john ruiz, evander holyfield, hasim rahman, samuel peter. but vor vitali it was a clear no win situation, since he had never beaten a champion at that time.


    both klitschkos were afraid of toney. they even are now. forget about this match up.

    Toney has amazingly avoided fighting fighters who are too big.
    Pulled out of a fight with McCline due to injury, The fight with Thompson dd not go through, and he ended up fighting Oquendo.
    I wanted to see how the short Toney would deal with really tall opponents.
    I don't think he would have done to well. As a heavyweight , Toney has proven to be a mediocre fighter who could barely hang in there due to technique, but could not stand out.

    Toney's chance to fight and beat one of the Klitschko's came and went after he beat Holyfield. He would simply be target practice now.

    well theres so many reasons. Id definately like to see it even now.(Apparently toneys 'slimmed' down too). Toneys been listed at 5'9 before and klit is like 6'7...skill vs physical attributes..

    Because Toney hasn't been consistent enough in the HW division to do so, he's had fights against a lot of others, but if he was just consistent as a contender/champion he could've fought one by now.

    Toney against the Klits would be insane. He's basically a fat cruiserweight. That's okay when you're competing against talentless slugs like Ruiz, but monsters like the Klitschkos?? Toney's chin would probably enable him to last the distance, but he would have been completely outboxed by either Klit.
