    Arreola has a better chance of beating Wlad than Toney does, the only contenders i see that he should focus on is Valuev, and Chageav. Problem is, in his current form, he'd likely get UD by the pair of them aswell...

    Klitschko would destroy Toney imo although Toney is extremely skilled and has an incredible record klitschko would be much to big and powerful and could beat him up from the outside. Klitschko may not want the fight because it would be a no win situation for him! If he beats Toney up easily he will be accused of of Ducking the younger harder punching Arreola. There is also the possibility that toney could last quite a few rounds and Klitschko would again be criticised for failing to look exciting as he was accused following Thompson/Rahman.
    In response to a comment below about exciting fighters i believe the Klitschkos are exciting fighters and are good for boxing. I don't believe that they avoid anyone, they have huge KO records and are always in great shape! Imagine the current heavyweight division without the Klitschkos!

    Arreola has no chance of beating Wladi.

    Aurolea has not even faced a top ten contender. How do you know he will deal with a world class fighter. Aurolea needs a couple years and face serious opposition and then come back and face Waldo.

    Wlad is fighting two young, hungry, experienced as they can be, undefeated fighters in a row. That's very impressive. Arreola and Povetkin is the way to go. He's fought enough run of the mill contenders. It is good for him to clear out the heavyweight division of young threats. He is showing right now whether they belong on his level.

    I do not see Klitschko destroying Toney or knocking him out. Klitschko will most probably win a decision. And, the inshape version of Toney will make it interesting for some rounds. That is why the fight should be made. It was Emanuel Steward who said that Wladi would have problems with Toney's style.

    On the other hand, Klitschko - Aurolea will just be onesided massacre just like LL-Michaael Grant.

    Jesus man Toney struggled with Danny Batchelder and Fres Oquendo not to mention he got out boxed by Sam Peter for christ sakes! Toney is finished.

    Had he taken his Heavyweight career more seriously he would have had more success but he did not.

    Well, at least Povetkin has fought a couple of names. It is still too early for him. He has just 16 professional fights and goes up against a champ in his prime of 55 fights. Aurolea is untested.

    I guarantee you, Klitschko knocks them both out.

    Toney's last fights were indeed disappointing.

    But, like every great fighter Toney has one last effort him. And ,remember Toney had off performances against weak opposition in the past when unmotivated (McGroom and Thadzi are perfect examples), so it does mean necessarely that he is finished.

    Toney should get his shot. He is an ATG and Arreolla needs time to develope his skills. It better for both fighters if Toney gets fight with Wladimir.

    It was already discussed on this board that Toney heavily priced himself out against Wlad Klitschko right before Wlad fought Calvin Brock I believe, or anyways it was a November fight....

    Instead Toney has been fighting for **** all $$$$...the Batchelders of this era...

    Also I would like to add that James Toney based on his last 2 years of losing/steroid suspension/scrapping by in fights is in NO position to challenge anyone.

    actually it was on ARD (aka Das Erste).
    to sum it up:
    sauerland = ARD
    universum = ZDF
    k2 = RTL
    öhner = Premiere/DSF
