    I disagree and point to the Tony Thompson fight as my reasoning. Thompson has little power for a heavyweight and it took Wlad 5 rounds just to start throwing the right. And Thompson is NOT harder to hit than Toney.

    Thompson is a tall Southpaw. Wlad struggles at times with Southpaws.

    Toney is a midget with no power who is orthodox.

    Wlad would KO him because of what I said before he would not be worried about return punches because Toney has no power.

    Yep.

    The last "quality" (and I use this term very loosely at HW) opponent at HW was Sam Peter. Sam Peter hurt him.

    And its not because of Toney's chin, or his defence. He's just old, he's losing his sharpness, and he's fighting big guys. Not a good combination.

    Sultan is a Southpaw with decent power.

    Toney has no power.

    thanks for playing.

    Oh yes, I have 2 big packs of crisps and a huge bottle of gin, I couldn't be any more ready :D

    I've also eaten an apple, just to make the diet more balanced. It was a toffee apple though.

    Name a HW, who has faced Toney and has said he has no power afterward.

    I then will name one who says he does has power...

    I don't have to. James has one stoppage as a Heavyweight. That is all I need to know. Toney was caught with punches by Sam Peter who has no skill and no handspeed after 2 rounds. Wlad would maim Toney.

    We will never see the fight though so this is a waste of time.

    Sultan had no power whatsoever before the WALDO fight, then all of a sudden he became this dangerous counter-puncher that could hit like a ****ing mule :lol:

    I suspect with Toney the story would be the same too, WALDO would jab, paw and grab his way to victory and all the Klit-ites would then claim Toney was too dangerous to take chances with.
