    Botha have lowly regarder World Titles. Both are over 40 and I think it would be a pretty good fight. Who would win and Why? I would favor Toney but I think Botha would make it interesting and hard fought.

    Is that a pic of you and Foreman? I met him once when he was fighting exhibitions before fighting Holyfield. He signed an autograph picture for me. My dad told him that I thought he was going to lose to Holyfield. Thanks a lot dad.

    Botha has got a low level german promoter now.

    He's just gonna fight other past they're best German or German based HWs i.e. Hoffmann,Fischer,etc.

    Could be I bet Botha-Toney be a fun fight to watch. Or if Briggs comes back maybe he and Briggs could rematch. See if someone could get a W this time.

    Yeah, I use to go see George whenever he was in Vegas back in the early 90s..... He was very open and cool--if he liked you..... A great guy..... I bought his first model of his grill by way of a phone # he gave me..... This was either 1995 or '96 I believe........
    :good

    I too would like to see the fight but i think Botha will now stick with his German competition. But hopefully if he can clear through the German heavyweigts he could move on to a James Toney type fighter.

    Botha has managed to gather a huge following in Germany. They are organizing "A German bum against Botha" fights over there now. It's basically like big Octoberfests, people drinking beer and watching boxing. The atmosphere is amazing.

    Next up on Oct 24th is Willie Fischer (who was KOd by Herbie Hide a couple of years ago) vs. Botha :lol:

    Toney will kill him if they fight, Botha has nothing left.

    Kill him? When was the last time Toney had a great fight against someone that was not spent or a journeyman. I think he might be the one with nothing left!

    Toney is no world class any more but he surely has more left in his tank than the Buffalo.

    He looked terrible in his last fight, much worse than Toney against Rahman.

    As far as i can see he went the distance with Hoffman who Klitchko couldnt stop (and won). He wasnt in best condition i will say that. But like Toney he is getting in shape with each fight he has had since his comeback to boxing.
