    He actually had great points. Not sure if you just listened line about Wlad and got angry.
    He didn’t say Toney would beat Wlad.

    He suggested that Toney would still be suprisingly competive opponents like Kevin McBride, Michael Grant and Watch because of his upper body movement and their inability to outmaneuver him.
    Toney has lost his footmovement but he still has good upper body movement

    no his actual job is to give people good bets be it longshots or straddle bets.he can't just pick a 20/1 underdog just for the price,he has to believe he has a good chance of victory

    :lol::lol: don't ever a make a bet he tells you to

    Seriously Antsu... :blood

    Well nevermind, if you still believe in current Toney then you're beyond hope

    hmm... :huh
    Believing he can still beat Kevin McBride and be competive against Grant/Wach isnt too much

    If he is going to continue fighting, he should definitely stay away from movers.
    Then again Jones rematch would probably make most money and he can end it with one shot to that glass jaw

    No he doesn't. Dude, I know you're a Toney fan but as such you should recognize what absolute **** his upper body movement has become. Go watch some old prime Toney footage. Hell, even Cruiserweight/early heavyweight Toney.

    Night and ****ing day, dude.

    He took unnecessary flush shots from Matthew Greer. He took an inordinate # of flush shots from Lebedev that the Toney of decades past would have scoffed at the idea of even being grazed with.

    His legs are shot.

    His above-the-waist defense is also shot.

    He's done.

    Celebrate his legacy, his longevity, whatever...just don't tout him after what happened yesterday as still being a potential player in any division. Surprisingly competitive with McBride? Is that supposed to be a good thing? :lol: He might not lose, but he wouldn't look good...and he'd get hit a lot, which is just how it goes with him now. Grant and Wach would beat him now, and it would be very sad to behold for any of us who appreciated what Toney used to be.

    I didn't say that either. He said Toney would do better against Wlad than he did against Lebedev which is beyond ridiculous.

    That said, I don't disagree with him that stationary targets would match up better with Toney but Dwyer fails to see that Wlad is not a slow, stationary boxer but a mobile superheavy who would beat the **** out of Toney even if he was prime. Style can only get you so far and Wlad is, like, the last fighter Toney wants to face especially at this point. Honestly, even the worst version of Wlad (arguably pre-Steward Wlad) would dominate and stop prime Toney.

    I have to warn you, I'm horrifically handsome. We're talking like Mikkel Kessler level. A lot of people would become very insecure with their sexuality if they subscribed to my station.

    At least Dwyer has the advantage of being an ugly ****ing ass wart, so that people aren't too distracted by his dashing looks to listen to his pugilistic drivel.

    Yeah its not in the same level it was, but my point was that he still could effectivily use it and it was better than average fighters upper body movement.

    Yeah. I think hes defence also suffers his inability to time fast counter so opponents dosent have to worry about that as much as they use to

    Yeah pretty much. I bet he would still whoop Mcbride tought

    I didn’t say he is player in the division. Just thought that guy’s point him being more competive with stationary heavy’s than odd makers would think was good.

    If I could choose Toney would either retire or fight regional fighter from here on.

    OT (off topic :D) IB,

    are you doing the RbR on the Brit card? You probably will, but just to be sure because it starts in half an hour.

    :lol: I'm not living that OT thing down, huh?
     
  15. I disagree. The ATG Lebedev just had Toney's number, I doubt any version of Toney stands a chance against an ironed chinned warrior like Denis. It's just a very bad match up for Toney where he is always going to struggle.
