    A ticket? Probably not.
    PPV? Definitely not. I very rarely buy ppv's, strictly massive events only. PPV is a blight on boxing equal to multiple belts. I'd just watch it the next morning.

    Great. A deluded, punch-drunk, shot fighter against a preening, cowardly, overrated diva. Sounds like a winner!

    No doubt! That fight would be great. Haye brings it...Toney brings it and the style match up is nuts! James would beat Haye in my opinion b/c Haye doesn't have the massive physical advantages that one of the SUPER HW's would have over him. Great fight and hope it gets made.

    That's great except for one small item: the Toney you are talking about doesn't exist anymore. Have you seen any of his fights lately? Like the farce "win" against Fres Oquendo? Some fight fans really live in the past.

    Its hard not to get a little carried away with fighters like Tony. Knowing how much natural ability they have as fighters and the instincts they possess you cant ever right him off. Plus with Tony seemingly rededicating himself and getting into shape this could become a solid comeback for the living legend.

    Sure he does...they said that about Toney back at cruiser weight as well. James for what it's worth has all the skills and craft needed to beat limited fighters who are bigger than him. If James is in shape and focused he's still a fukin problem for anyone.

    You gotta think James hasn't taken a lot of punishment...most of the punishment he's taken has been at HW against one fighter...Sam Peter. And for James to really get motivated with guys like Fres Quendo or Greer it's nearly impossible. Not to say as a PRO you should always be 100% prepared but with a guy like james....ULTRA skilled and ULTRA talented who has been in the game 22 yrs....it's expected that at this point they become complacent.

    Some fight fans are so easily swayed which ever way the wind blows. Toney has had a hard time getting fighters to sign to face him and James isn't exactly a Gym Rat. So when a fight does come up he's usually unprepared yet he still is good enough to beat them.
