    Ok dad, like I didn't know Toney won the IBF title at MW, SMW, and CW. :roll::roll::roll:

    And people need to STFU. I never compared Toney to anyone in the HW division career wise. I just said he was a garbage HW along with others like Rossy and Sonowski. Why do I say that? The fat ass can't even come into decent shape and was taking roids (I don't care if it's medical he should not have been fighting then, clear your ****ing system out)

    But, but, if W.Klitschko has to fight Johnathon Banks who will he spar with?

    oh **** **** yeah
    Toney fans and haters can both rejoice.
    Banks is a real guy, yeah he looked a bit goofy taking out Walker but he was a solid cruiser and this is a definite test.
    I thought Toney lost vs Fres.

    This is a real fight. Make it happen and lets see what Toney has left.

    IF James can win this fight he can get names at heavy and eventually the "sisters" as he calls them, if he really does want them.

    STFUP, nobody takes your ridiculous comments serious anymore. You don't know **** about Toney.

    I can see Toney turning a win over Banks into a title shot. Both Klitschkos have a free schedule at the end of the year. If either wants to fight in the US at that time then Toney would be one opponent that HBO or Showtime might televise.

    If Banks wins then I can see him in some sort of eliminator. Banks against Arreola or Peter are decent fights that could be title eliminators. I'd make Banks the underdog in those bouts but he's got a chance. I don't think he can grab a shot at a Klitschko if he beats Toney, he doesn't have Toneys name power. But an eliminator would make sense.

    Your ignorance speaks loudly. Would you have called Robinson, Duran or Hearns garbage when they were at the end of their career? If your are calling a multiple weight division and future hall of famer garbage, then you are really not a fan of boxing. You should be watching WWE wrestling! Toney is simply old, and well past his prime, but to me that does not translate into being garbage.

    I agree, this is exactly how it would play out.

    Toney has already had multiple chances. He used steroids to beat John Ruiz and was stripped. Had a Draw with Rahman. Lost 2 WBC eliminators to Sam Peter :rofl:patsch.

    The guy has had his chances and blown it every single time. He is not a draw and is 40 years old fat and out of shape. he can't even beat Danny Batchelder or Fres Oquendo in convincing fashion yet you idiots say he deserves a title shot? :lol::lol::lol::lol::rofl:rofl:rofl

    I'd probably pick Banks at this point. Toney shouldn't be fighting.

    Banks by late round TKO or UD

    I am sorry, Toney is the best HW out there. I loved his "domination" of Fres Oquendo.

    I've been watching boxing for 10 years now and I love older fights. To call me a n00b or a WWE fan, is plain insulting.

    Am I the only one that would rather see TONEY-HOPKINS or TONEY-ADAMEK???

    Since Banks moved up to HW he's looked better and stronger, and as much as I love Toney he's ready to get finished by anyone.

    Nice mid-level fight. I think Banks outhustles him for a close decision.

    If this happens I think Banks will be the first to stop Toney. He has started to get a little chinny.
