    All respect to Toney... one of the best of his era but he isn't the same fighter anymore.

    He has slowed down considerably and the speed Haye would bring would be something he hasn't seen for some time and i don't think it is something he could cope with now. I fear that Haye would use Toney as a punch bag. And with Toneys chin and heart it could damage his health

    Also when was the last time Toney beat a decent fighter at HW? **** if Rahman can hit him regularly what would Haye do?

    C'mon! Toney's passed his prime to say the least.

    Tony would be a nice name on his resume but I think in preparation for one of the K Bros he would be better suited to fight a big fighter of 240 or more with a height taller then Haye. Toney is a flabby 215-250 and shorter than Haye. Maybe a taller fighter like Tony Thompson would be a good test or Ray Austin or even Dimitrenko or Virchis or Grant the last 3 have not been impressive latley but would serve as a good preparation.

    I don't think it does and I'm a big Toney fan - bigger, quicker, faster, stronger and if necessary prepared to win "ugly" Haye always a bad opponent for Toney
