That's a reasonable opinion. Wlad would have a hard time early but he would eventually land clean and enough of those & anybody's lights go out.
That's not nec. what he's saying at all. Thompson is a natural HW who's much bigger and he's a southpaw, which created a more difficult target then a short old guy trying to bob & weave to avoid punches. I'm just being honest here.
Prime example of blind nuthugging. Wlad's chin in no better than michael grants. Its only a matter of time before he gets caught again. Either Haye or Arreola is going to ko him.
toney had his shot at wlad some years ago and he **** his pants. wlad has a descent chin, if peters,brock and thompson couldnt ko wlady then theres no way in hell peters could. If toney was taller i could see him winning a ud
Are you kidding. Wlad would turn Toney's face into road kill. Remember this Derrick, Wlad with a belt offered Toney without a belt a title fight with over a million dollar pay day. And Toney said " no thanks " , then fought someone else for less.
Toney knows how to roll with punchs. Toney does not know how to roll with punchs. Tony has a good chin. Thompson has a good chin.
James Toney has a alltime great chin,,,not just a good chin. Watch him fight he gets hit and almost laughs puts his hands down and resets
Toney now would get jabbed to death and eventually get TKO'd by the 8th or 9th round, Toney's chin was able to take an even heavier puncher in Peter and still not get knocked out, though I think now Toney is starting to get old and rusty. For those that say Toney cant rock Wlad, Wlad was rocked by a Brewster in jab in there first fight, was floored 11 times and TKO'd 3 times by mostly journeymen fighters, Toney can easily spark glass chinned Wlad.
He knocked out Holyfield, something Lewis couldnt do. Toney doesnt have a ton of power, but he places his punches very well, and when a guy who's over 225 pounds hits you on the chin, I dont care who you are, your going to feel it, especially a fighter like Wlad who melts at the first sign of danger.
It would be intresting match, but sadly I think the faforite would be Wladimir. Who has performed impresively in last couple of fights. However I would cheer for Toney:happy
