    I'm sure Wlad tried to fight Toney in his heavyweight heydey back in 2006-08.

    Frankly the Klitschkos can only get away with fighting someone like Toney (or Holyfield or Tarver or other legends) if the old guy has proven he's a legit contender. Otherwise they'll get loads of criticism for permanently damaging an aged middleweight ATG.

    Why didn't JT work his way into a mandatory spot?
