I like both fighters -- always been a HUGE Toney fan -- but at this point, this fight would be less competitive than Calzaghe-Jones. Toney is too old, too fat and too small for Vitali. Let him go mug some MMA guys.
Some idiot fans are here as I see. Stop insulting Klitschkos!!! Other fans do not insult Haye, and you are always saying about Bros like "sisters" etc Why? Probably you need to go to Haye's house, spend a hot night with him, your frustration will pass and fanatical love to Haye will be felt as severe pain in your asses!!!!
WRONG WRONG WRONG Dont you remember Haye saying "I need to fight and beat BOTH Klitschkos if I want to be the real champ" fight 1...Wlad Fight 2..rematch with Wlad (like all champs get) fight 3...fight Vitali On top of that...money was not an issue. Sentanta money was an issue. Had NOTHING to do with the contract. Haye was to get 38% for a voluntary title defense. that HUGE. but when Haye wouldnt/couldn't secure the stadium, Haye presented to wlad, that Wlad keep his stuff and Haye would keep his (sentanta) then when Sentanta went BK, Haye backed out and tried the "slave contract" bull****:deal Haye is a liar. Just puts blame on anything he can to make it seem like nothing is EVER his fault
If you think that a guy who has been through 5 weight classes, 90 fights without being stopped, agreat chin, will get blown out, you clearly don't know boxing. Guys like James Toney who have been around for ever have strong believe in themselves, they just won't let somebody run them over like that.It is time for Vitali to step it up and to face his 2 biggest challenges Haye and James Toney.That Polish guy us garbage, it is a disgrace.
And his fans lap it up he is never responsible for his own actions or lack there of and the truth means nothing to them all they care about is hype. Because so far that is all haye has been is hype and shitt talk,
One was taking prescribed medicine commonly given to recuperate from the injury,, One was taking them to gain an advantage,, Apples and oranges here you should be smart enough to differentiate between the two.
so I guess all of us on this thread that think JT would get blown out dont know boxing? Maybe its the other way around. You DONT think JT would get blown out there for you dont know boxing:good JT is WAY past those days of championships, His best days are far behind him. Im sorry but IMO, Vitali would be way to much for JT to handle
hahaha you have to wonder with all those toney comments... are they serious or they just want to **** off people? lol
I am very surprised some folks here think Vitali might stop James. Vitali is not a guy with huge power, if he can't stop Byrd or Kirk Johnson, he won't stop James. I am not saying James would win the fight. When in great shape, he presents stylistic problems for Vitali (not necessarely Wlad) just as johnsons and Byrd have. There are a lot of rumours that Vitali has problems with small guys who move their head a lot in sparring. Toney certainly presents a bigger challenge than the unkown Pollish fighter and even you agreed with that.
I agree Vitali power is way overrated by many. Still, I am not sure you noticed that Toney is also far from his prime. There is no way Toney today avoids most of Vitali punches like prime Byrd did. Also, to his credit, there is no way he comes just to get paycheck and survive like Kevin Johnson. I think Vitali gradually wears him down by accumulation. The only Vitali's opponent that falls into this category was Byrd, and although Vitali looked awful there he kept winning rounds untill he busted his rotator.
