    Sure and that's why klitschko opponents make more than mayweathers. Solis against vitali made 1.8 mil, leapai against wlad made 1.5 mil, most of their opponents make around this much or more.

    Because they didn't want to get thoroughly outboxed and embarrassed by a fat, blown up super middleweight. :deal

    James "Belly's Out" Toney lost to Sam Peter back in 2007, and recently lost to Jason Gavern.

    He'd take a terrible beating from Wladimir Klitschko. No one in his right mind would want that fight.

    Especially the Klitschkos, which is why they ducked. :deal

    Look, we can go back and forth over who would win until you're blue in the face, but the fact is we'll just never know because your boys were too chicken**** to get in the ring with Toney. :bart

    The Klits may have beaten Toney at HW, but Toney is the better fighter P4P.

    Look at Toney's resume at Heavyweight. It is awful. He fought Peter twice and lost who both Klitschko's beat. Struggled with Rahman. Had to cheat to beat Ruiz who was awful. His Heavyweight wins are guys like Booker, Guinn, Batchelder, Oquendo (which he was gifted), Greer, Reed, and Gunn. Who the hell are those guys? They are nobodies. His best win is ancient Holyfield.

    James didn't win one meaningful fight but the Klitschko's were ducking him? :rofl:patsch

    I would like to see James vs Prime 2003/2004 Vitali Klitschko. He would get destroyed.

    They heard he was hungry for a title belt, and after the way he put down the entire Burger King menu, they figured he would eat their belts before the fight could even begin. How would they be able to carry on as self-respecting champions with half eaten belts?

    Why is sciencegurus social live so sad that he has to troll for attention? That's the better question here.
