    Than the dire Harrison?

    Or has Toney retired?

    I think I would favour Toney

    Toney was never going to fight Haye, he would make ridiculous money demands as he did for both Klitschkos when he's not worth what he's demanding.

    if you ask Antsu then of course! :toney

    if you ask me then no way! Toney is far, far over the hill and does even deserve a titleshot less than Harrison.
    the guy had to be subtitled in his own language for god's sake!

    All you American critics have to start waking up

    This will sell like crazy in Britain.

    60,000 used to turn up at the millenium stadium to watch Joe Calzaghe

    50,000 used to turn up at the MEN arena to watch Ricky Hatton

    Lewis v Bruno was a huge comercial success

    Haye will make a ton of money from this fight

    America could never do something of this magnitude, for Britan this will be a huge event and will take massive PPV buys

    What's your point? Circuses make big money, too. And that's what this event is, a circus. What you choose to spend or waste you money on is your perogative. But please don't try to justify it by saying it will make money. A Wlad or Vitali fight would have been much, much bigger. Haye is taking this fight because he won't have to pay Audley the loser anything, pure and simple. He'll take the entire pay per view for himself and laugh at how stupid UK fans are for buying this dreck. In an interview yesterday, he said as much. He said this is a joke fight. I'm not sure why you refuse to listen to you idol. It is a joke fight. And anyone who buys it deserves a free lobodomy.

    Not a chance. Haye wouldn't ko Toney. Toney is past it, but Haye isn't a huge hitter at heavy. Toney would look bad, but he survived against Peter. He'd survive against Haye.

    Toney at least had talent in his prime unlike Audley but James Toney is overweight and out of shape by at least 30lb's and his hand speed, and technique looks absolutely gone. So slow and would be stopped within 2 rounds imo althoug technically speaking Haye fighting Harrison is just as big a farce. Here's a man who struggled hugely against Michael Sprott.

    Toney should retire because he is clearly in no way up to the standard required now to compete in either boxing or mixed martial arts and Harrison is and never will be world title material.
