It is time for Vitali to fight James Toney. Toney has been a contender for the last 6 years, yet the Klits haven't fought him yet. Wh else is Vitali gonna fight anyway?I don't like to see a guy with 16 pro fights against an accomplished champ.You saw it with Johnson and Arreola, these guys aren'r ready.
What other fights? Are you interested in Vitali fighting another Johnson or Arreola?At least, HBO will televise Vitali-Toney.
there is nothing to discredit. The guy had to use Anabolic Steroids to beat John Ruiz. Toney's resume at Heavyweight is abysmal.
dude calm down, toney is **** right now, why should vitali fight him, he would hurt him and everyone will say, vitali fights a washed up middleweight... and about povetkin, are you crazy??? this guy could be the real deal, especially against vitali, i really think that povetkin would have a very big chance to beat vitali. povetkin is the most deserving contender with eddie chambers for years. povetkin beat byrd, donald, chambers, estrada... thats more then enough to qualify for a shot at vitali. what has james toney done? lose to a bad peters and couldn't finish a shot rahman...
I love Toney,,, but after Vitali's fiasco in Switzerland trying to solve the defense of Bowling-Pin Johnson the last thing he needs is another guy with great defense (and a atg chin),,, Toney can't hurt Vitali even if he somehow reaches his chin ... and VK can't land anything flush enough to KO Toney,,, = another mind-numbing Klitschko UD win, and another dent in Vitali's KO percentage,,, The press conference is always good with James,,, but it's all down-hill from there. Toney would be a terrible choice of opponent right now!
Boy, this is sad. Toney getting a title shot. Fuggin' heavyweight division is ridiculous. Too much politics involved.
James Toney had a very significant accomplishment at HW and that was beating Holyfield many years ago. Everything he has attempted after that has only tarnished his great boxing resume. He should have quit while he was ahead.
Vitali is such a terrible style matchup for Toney that it's not even funny. But damn, it would be f'ing hilarious if two-ton Toney were to knock out Vitali, then make Max Kellerman cry & knock his mic out of his hand. hahahah I got milk baby!
Did you see what Peter did to Toney in their 2nd fight? Did you see what Vitali did to Peter? Case closed...
Toney could even beat Fres Oquenda and he thinks he's ready Vitali?:rofl If he wants to be taken seriously he needs to drop some weight and start winning...He hasnt done anything of note since he got caught doping!
