Toney will fight Kimbo slice - and will probably win... One guy is a complete has-been and the other is a never-was, yet UFC will still somehow make money off of it.
What will be really funny is if Toney goes in there and kos that bum in the first minute MMA fans will never live it down. With that said MMA has a lot more to lose in this than boxing does here.
:deal A pathetic and desperate publicity stunt is all this is. I hope it blows up in his ****ing face.
Even though he's not a natural heavyweight and is fat. He still pucnhes harder than 90% of them, because he knows how to transfer his weight into his punches. Not only that, but his punch placement and counter punching would make anyone in the UFC look like Charlie Zelenoff if the fight stays in the air. With 4 oz gloves, Toney shatters their glass chins.
Fair enough, but thats more of an opinion than fact. It's rare to see a world class boxer in the UFC, so it's really tough to base that opinion on anything at this point.
Excellent post...like I said before, don't underestimate guys like Toney. He has the skill set, the experience and the mental/physical capacity to adapt and win at ANYTHING.
I agree Toney has enough power to KO anyone in the UFC and probably punchers harder than anyone there as well. He knows how to punch unlike the UFC guys who are arm punchers at best.
If UFC guys overlook him, Toney's gonna turn some 'will-bes' into 'has-beens' before they 'ever were'. He's the first active, world class caliber( and yes he's still world class) boxer to switch over.:bbb
lol. Touche. Still though, I think Kimbo might be under the impression that he might be able to hurt Toney while Toney may not have the 'pop' to hurt em back, unlike Ray Mercer, even at his advanced age...
Along with the above, please remember that he has only been knocked down twice in his career(never KO'd) and he is an extremely intelligent boxer who has adapted to fighting(and being successful) in 5 different weight classes...TRUST ME, HE'LL ADAPT TO THIS:good!
Even zombie Coleman manged to stun Couture with a punch and zombie Big Nog knocked him down...so Toney only has to land a glancing blow and its over.
I think Toney seriously believes that he can beat Brock Lesnar. And that him learning two months of takedown defense will prevent him of getting tossed around like bag. He is in for a reality check if he truly fights Lesnar, Mir or even Couture. He might be able to beat someone like Kimbo or Silvia though.
Why are u mad at Dana though? Its was Toney who was yelling and hollering because Dana didnt even want to sign him or give him a contract. Toney got what he wanted. This wasnt Dana's idea.
