    Apparently, Toney and Banks are in early negotiations for a June/July date on Showtime in Detroit. I think that this classic crossroad battle of generations would make a lot of sense for both sides. The winner emerges as a top 5 ranked fighter and would represent a valid contender for Haye or the Klitschko's.

    Given Banks and Toney's ranking within the WBC a top 5 ranking is a lock. In times where the Sosnoskis (whatever his name is) , faded champs like Rahman and Ruiz who haven't fought a ranked contender in years get title opportunities, I wouldn't mind see the winner of this pairing getting matched with the champs.

    toney has a chance here to throw himself back in the limelight.

    toney has always fascinated me, he's like a mixture between a weight jumping journeyman and a p4p champ. he willl go years taking fights in any weight class at a weeks notice, but then suddenly he gets a big name fight and outclasses the guy.

    can he do it again tho?

    Toney signed for the UFC but his contract allows him to compete in boxing as well.

    Your point?

    All 3 are garbage. All cause Toney is rated #5 doesn't mean he's really #5. For ****s sake Derric Rossy is #7. LOL. The guy can't carry any of the champs jocks, let alone a top ten rating.
