    I listened to his trainer on a local boxing radio show after his last fight and he said that Cris is a workout demon in training camp. Only problem is that he comes into camp at around 300 pounds. :shock:

    Toney is rated 6th by the WBO and 7th by the IBF. I think Toney is the best candidate for the June 20th fight. He will be destroyed by Vlad, but at least Toney has experience and self-confidence, something that is lacking in Haye.

    Wlad should either fight Povetkin soon, or postpone his meeting with Haye, I gave him some slack for fighting an old washed up Rahman after Povetkin pulled out, but he can't do it again, if not Haye this time than it needs to be a top 5 guy.

    Toney has the big name and some this he is the best heavyweight in the world now. It would be a mismatch, but he has a big name. Arreola would have been good, but he won't take the fight. Povetkin will not either, he already cancelled once. Chagaev? Who else would be good? Kevin Johnson not ranked highly enough, no name. Chambers? Mismatch, but...........

    Toney did say that he would be willing to fight.

    He was training in his own match against Thompson at that time and was ready to change it to world title shot.

    Then Klithcko camp chose out of shape Rahman, who had just quitted against Toney couple of months ago.
