    With Toney ranked number 7 by the WBO and IBF any reason why he would not or could not take the fight?

    He's called them robots for long enough, would he be mad enough to take this fight in Germany?

    He could make a huge statement with a win here. He last fought in December last year, has he been in training for a fight and is there any chance of him taking this?

    If Rahman can fight against Wlad after quitting against Toney there is no reason why Toney should not be an option.

    Not even in the dreams. Toney has been ducking both Klitschkos ever since he started calling them out. :lol:

    I would like to see this fight. Toney has been talking **** about the Klits for ages.

    It would be interesting to see how Toney goes about fighting Wlad. This is actually a fight I would like to see. HBO would put this on too.

    Toney is a VERY goooooood fighter, one of the greats IMO. Middleweight to Heavyweight and has NEVER been in ANY danger of being even remotely hurt. Guy is amazing. Steroids, burgers and everything included.

    Obviously he is on old man though and probably fat as **** but still...

    He is rumoured to be slightly down in weight,on the back of rumours about going to 185lb(bull****)to fight Bernard

    Toney ducks no one.

    But then again we have had this conversation before and you will not change your mind, so never mind.

    Toney should ask for $4mil, talk a TON of **** to hype up the fight, get his ass kicked, then retire, in that order

    I don't think toney deserves this fight.. It's in a sold out soccer arena and will be watched around the world. He's really not in Klitschko's class

    Toney could of course try calling him out. He'd need to do it very quickly...we don't want any after-the-fact bravado.

    I'd be surprised if he did challenge Wlad, though, very surprised.

    He has achieved way more in his career than Wlad, so I wouldn’t say he is not in his class.

    Unless you mean that Toney is class above which case I agree.

    Toney is the fighter that got me into boxing in the first place, so without a doubt I would want to see this fight, and would be rooting for Lights Out all the way.
