    If Toney would get his fat ass in shape, I believe he'd still have a shot against Wilder and Parker... he could teach them a boxing lesson. Not Joshua though, that kid is too strong and good.

    In fact, Toney is no less a HW-'champion' now than Parker or Wilder - he's just a belt-holder while Joshua is the real champ.

    A Toney-Wilder fight would be interesting, a well informed source told me that Wilders team was considering that option but it was off the table when they saw that Toney could still deliver a KO - too much risk, no reward. So can we say that Wilder has ducked Toney? I think yes

    Unification fight with Wilder for the whole enchilada.

    Unified WBF-WBC champ.

    Sets up a nice undisputed fight vs Joshua

    I mean, eventually he or Roy are going to die in there.

    Think James would be better off fighting for the WBA belt. I saw his last fight and think he needs to stay away from Wilder, Ortiz and Joshua. That is not to say they would knock him out.Parker, I do no see Toney getting hurt in there but he would probably run his way to a decision win

    How long have you rated your own imagination a 'well informed source?'

    Doesn't make sense to keep fighting but you need sense to realise that.

    Toney and Roy and Bernard can start their own exclusive division

    I don't understand why Roy keeps fighting unknowns when he could make more $$$$ by taking on Toney in a loooong overdue rematch, probably Jones Jr realises he would get KTFO this time around since his physical gifts have long ago diminished to the extent Enzo F'ing Maccarinelli starched him as have many, many others.
    James has been trying to entice Hopkins into the ring for as long as I remember but Bernard is wise enough to know better.
    Toney and Tarver have a long running beef, maybe that fight is more realistic since Tarver seems to be Charles-Martin-type=crazy and both are heavyweights.
