Quotes from Fightnews.com
Below are quotes from yesterday's Rahman-Toney presser which took place at Tavern on the Green in New York City:
WBC heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman: "It was never about Klitschko. It was always about the belt. I was in excellent shape (prior to Klitschko cancellation), now I'm in good shape and on March 18 Im going to be in excellent chape and I've got a guy here that's going to bring it all out of me. I'm the champion, the only champion and once I knock out James Toney, there will be only one champion. He is the toughest guy in the division. THEN the rest of the guys can call me. This win will catapult me to the stratosphere, right where I need to be. Toney is a counter-puncher, an excellent fighter and I will have to bring it way up. I feel like I'm going to knock him out. It's going to be a fast paced fight.WBC mandatory challenger James Toney: "This fight means the undisputed heavyweight championship. I've been trying to fix this mess for years. Hasim is the best fight for me because he is the WBC champion. I'm like the devil, I like the fire. If there's fire in the kitchen I want to be there. I've been in training for 2½ weeks. I came home from Cancun and I was a little plump (240 lbs.), but come mid-March I will be starving (217 lbs.) for the fight. He's going to go down. I'm going to put the pain on him. That's what I'm going to do. I could win a decision but I will knock him out because its personal. After the fight, we will party on the plane on the way home. And when I get home I will work on my suntan."
i picked rahman by ko but toney frustrates people when he gets them to play his inside game, and rahman when hes frustrated he sux i dont know, it should be a good fight...
i just cant wait for toney to get his fat ass knocked out....
now, already in 06, i've seen some crazy things go down in the ring ... but who are you kidding here?
lol.. no i got respect for anyone's opinion but it would take alot at this point to change my pick from Toney UD.
Toney's getting older, but he still stays very busy in the ring, and hasn't showed any signs of slowing down. I think Toney wins a one-sided decision, because he doesn't have a lot of power in the heavyweight division.
you are also the biggest retard on boxing scene.
whats with all u toney nuthiggers up in here, i just cant wait for toney to get his fat ass knocked out....
you are also the biggest retard on boxing scene.
ok, i was voicing my opinion like everyone else, keep ur mouth shut dirt bag, wont u be the biggest retard when it really happens???
Im not convicingly saying that it will happen I just think that, have some respect for people u dirt bag...
Who picked Toney by TKO? That's stupid
i picked toney tko/ko and ill tell you why
rahman has a pretty shitty chin and bad stamina problems
he will get stopped from exhaustion moreso than toney's power
tell lennox lewis that... LOL :D
Lewis had glass, son. Rahman isn't a HUGE puncher, but he isn't feather fisted, either.
Toney HAD a great chin at lower weights, but we've really yet to see how it will fare in the HW division against a better fighter. And, like him or not, Rahman is a top 10 HW right now.
This will be a boring fight, more than likely, but to a real fan it should be good. Probably the best HW matchup we'll be seeing for a while, unless someone else man's up and fights Toney.
if toney doesnt get caught by a big shot, he'll out work rahman and get the win........rahman isnt that busy of a fighter to outwork toney....
who cares if toney gets hit by a big shot
rahman doesnt have great ko power and toney has a granite chin
