this guy you keep dissing is a much better fighter than RJJ who relies mainly on reflexs and speed. he doesnt have the skill and isnt a betta fighter overall than toney at his best. niether is bhop, who i am a fan off would have got stopped if he fought toney, also bhops resume is nothing when put next to toney's resume!
Sam Peter would hit you so hard, your little pee pee would fall off, and you'd be in a wheelchair. Toney took his best, and just got up.
Rahman won the first fight and will stop Toney this time. Toney struggled against a can in his last fight, no way he wins this. To seriously trouble Rahman he needs some serious power and he lacks that, especially at 39 I'm pretty sure he'll have some serious stamina issues and will eat quite a lot of punches here. Full credit to him for still trying though.
Dude, I was thinking the same thing! I wonder how many bufets Toney will go to before this fight happens.
James Toney has won more world Titles than Gay Golota can lie down at night and dream about. You swallow, *****. :good
My thoughts on this fight: Toney's been declared dead several times in his career, and he always came back. I hope he can do it again, one last run for a belt at HW. The Batchelder fight don't mean ****. I am more concerned about the long lay-off. Toney needs to get in shape, and do a lot of sparring to get his timing back. That's what he was missing in the second Peter fight, too much weigh-lifting and focus on weight, not enough sparring. Toney shows a lot of insight. He knows he's done things wrong for his last fights, and that it's only his own fault. He's humble. That's a good sign. He knows it's do or die this time, an he really tries to get in shape. He always says this, but this time he means it, I believe he will be in good shape for this fight. He has a new trainer, it's an old-school trainer that he has to respect, not like Roach, that's also a good thing, it's a new start. Toney is faded, no question about that. But Hasbeen Rahman is also faded. The first fight was the best Rahman I've seen except in the first Lewis fight. Toney was in his worst shape ever an got outworked, but he landed the better punches, the draw was just. This time Toney will probably do better (he can't do much worse) and Rahman will no be as good, so I'll say Toney wins this one. Rahman is right about that the loser should retire. I'll go a step further: if Toney doesn't win a clear decision or by KO, if he don't look good, he should retire, even if he wins. He should retire with a last good name on his record. If he really looks good, he should try to rematch Ruiz and then go after Chagaev. Two very winnable fights for him. I don't have much time left, maybe one year - enough time to go for the WBA and then retire. But he has to look good doing so. I believe James can do that - it's all up to him.
I have plenty of friends of mine who are fighters, Golota is just one of them. You need to make some new friends Jack. Its not right for you to be so obsessed with a man like this...is Toney treating you right these days?
Don't forget Rahman's glass jaw - even Toney might be able to take him out. Particularly so since it seems as if Rahman's whiskers have become even shakier than they were in his "prime.":yep
What about a victorious Toney going after the little Klitscko brother. You know, the one who Toney said had no power, at all. But seriously.......... I don't really care who wins, though, but I do hope both of them come to fight in good condition and that both put on good performances, and most importantly, that both get caught on the chin, flush, repeatedly. LOL
