    I feel guilty now, think I'll throw a slice of lemon in my next G&T :good

    Nothing wrong with pomegranite, very good for you. I'm unsure as to how to make a margerita with pomegranite though, please pass on the recipe and I'll give it a go.

    Suge let me put it this way. I have nothing against Toney other than he squandered his career at Heavyweight. James could land a 10 punch combination on the fragile chinned Wlad and it would do nothing.

    Toney's time is up and has been for a while he is struggling with fighters like Batchelder and Oquendo.

    Toney went 15 rounds with Rahman and could not even knock him down.

    That speaks volumes.

    I think Toney could rock Wlad, to be honest. He has a glass jaw, probably the worst out of any of the real top guys at heavy. He has been KO'd 3 times and 2 of those times by bums in his prime. You should know this? Ross Purity has 1 punch KO power.

    Sure Wlad beats him, but if Toney hit him a few times no doubt he would be rocked. He has a glass jaw, always have and always will.

    EDIT: Although I do think he would recover and thoroughly dominate Toney. But of course Toney is shot to pieces so it doesn't matter anyways.

    Toney is shot people. He laboured to a "win" over Fres Oquendo. Let's get that into perspective. Fres Oquendo.

    He's been too easy to hit in his old age. If Sam Peter, who is slow, sloppy, lacking any boxing ability can land on you, and hurt you, Wlad certainly will.

    Toney dangerous? :lol::rofl:patsch

    He struggled with Oquendo for christ sakes.

    Wlad would destroy the feather fisted James Toney.

    Ole' James would be giving up 9 inches in height and god knows what in reach. He would not even be able to punch Wlad on his fragile Chin. :hi:

    Nice spin...:-((

    In the rematch Toney glued Hasim's ass to the stool in 3. It took WLaD what, 9...???

    So what if Tony had a draw with the pre-OLeG rematch version of Rahman...the same version of whicih stopped an out of shape Lewis. Something ViTKLiT couldn't do to an equally bored version of Lewis.

    They just don't want to get ripped on during the press tour...and Toney is not crazy enough to fight them in Europe.

    So fighters like Austin, Brewster, Rahman are not scared to go to Germany to fight but Toney won't? :lol::rofl

    Wow, has your hero fallen that far? :patsch

    There goes the height obsession again, what is it with Klit-ites and height :huh

    It's not all about power though....if it were then surely 'feather fisted' Toney would have been walked through by now at HW? He's fought plenty of guys that can hit. Peter has a better chin than WALDO and hits harder too yet he treated Toney with caution. Why? Surely if the guy can't hurt you why not just go out there swinging and KO him, if it's that simple?

    Toney will have to KO them to lose by split decision.

    Look what happened to Holyfield against NicoLIE Valueless...Holy won anywhere from every round, to all but three.

    American fighters who aren't likely to score the KO need to be cautious about fighting there. Guys like you named who are much more KO punchers than Toney are more likely to do it because going for the KO suits their style.

    James "Lights Out" Toney, our IBA/NABO Champion, if he comes in under 220, outpoints this ridiculous excuse for a champion.

    Toney's competition at Heavyweight has been very mediocre. He has yet to fight one of the so called "Super Heavyweights" and something tells me he never will.

    Unfortunately for James fights are won in the ring not at the press conference.

    Peter is abysmal. He was schooled by a guy that had not fought in 4 years. That is downright pathetic.

    To be honest -- I don't think Wlads jaw is that much better than Rahman's jaw. Because I clearly remember Rahman beating a Prime Sanders and Wlad getting KTFO and falling all over the place early against an out of shape sanders who was pretty much a professional golfer at that point.

    If Wlad fought Lewis around the time that Lewis cracked open Rocks eggshell of a chin he would've KTFO Wlad early as well imo, especially at that time when Wlad had more balls to open up.

    I see all these people talk about Rahmans Jaw, but the man fought bangers, some of which he beat some of which he was KTFO. Sure his jaw is weak, but I don't see how Wlads is any better. If Wlad wasn't as tall or as atheletic as he is, he's career would've been short due to his eggshell jaw. Steward has crafted him well on how to fight with a glassjaw in a successful manner with the ability and size he has.

    I don't think Rahman would've ever been KO'd by Ross Purity in his prime though.. but that's just my opinion.
