    I sure was looking forward to Wlad-Haye.
    But now that the possibility is gone, who to replace?

    Toney? He's a big talker, just like Haye.

    How bad is it when James Toney is considered in way better shape than another Heavyweight?

    I thought Toney had split from Goossen?

    Anyway, I would watch a Wlad-Toney fight. It is a decent fight and Toney has talked a lot of **** about the Klits (like Haye :lol:) so I would like to see what he'd do in the ring.

    The real question is: Would Toney get KOED, I think so..., but let's see!

    Toney would be a good replacement, but I don't think he will be in good enough shape to do anything against Klitscko, and while I think Toney can last 12 rounds I doubt that he to much more then that. If Chageav is available I would like to see that fight a bit more.

    That's what I heard too. And didn't he start his own promotion company; Lights Out Promotions or something like that?

    Yeah, he was talking to Liakovich (sp) and his people and they were going to fight later this year.

    This is the fight I see happening!!! I don't think many of the top contenders are going to risk fighting Wlad on such short notice. I think it'll be Toney or John Ruiz...and I'll be gutted!!!

    The one guy I did think about was Kingpin, he always appears up for a challenge?? Thoughts??

    You don't need to look ripped to be in shape
    What evidence suggests he'd get KO'd?

    While Kingpin is my main man, i don't think he is up for this just yet despite what he may say. He has impressive skills, but I don't think that he is quite on Wlad's level just yet. He would however, beat Valuev without a doubt in my mind.

    :yep That's what I thought was going to take place. I was actually looking forward to that fight. If Toney is indeed a viable option for the 20th and in shape, then I highly suggest that he take the opportunity. If he wins, however unlikely it may seem, then great, he makes history once more. If he loses, then chances are he will not get another opportunity like this again, but he will have a great payday to end his career.
