James Toney v Wladimir Klitchko on Feb 7 2009???

If this is true, WLAD By Decision

On August 9, 2008, it was announced that Klitschko would face off against James Toney on February 7, 2009, makes no sense at all its only August and next fight is all the way out in February? Im sure he will fight Povetkin by the end of they year or atleast late January? Wlad's next fight should be vs Povetkin in 2008. I don't get this potential fight with Toney AT ALL, considering #1. how does Toney land a title shot in the first place? (name recognition) and #2. can we wait till Wlad gets by Povetkin first? I'll take it for what it's worth right now, and thats a wikipedia rumor as I don't see why Wlad or his team would schedule an 09 fight when they still have the Povetkin mandatory in 08 to take care of.

recent interview from Klitschko.com says this My next opponent: I´m going to defend my title against the # 1 mandatory challenger of the IBF - Alexander Povetkin - in November. He´s very talented fighter, there´s no question about it, but still very unexperienced. That´s everything I want to say right now, the rest will be shown in the ring.

according to wikipidia when u look klitschko up it says this On August 9, 2008, it was announced that Klitschko would face off against James Toney on February 7, 2009, makes no sense at all its only August and next fight is all the way out in February? Im sure he will fight Povetkin by the end of they year or atleast late January?

the problem with everyone backing Toney is that your all basing Toney doing well on hypotheticals like someone said "if Toney can get down to 215" considering James Toney weighed in at 226 for his last fight .. what's the likely hood that he can, or would even want to drop that extra 11 pounds? and someone else said "as long as he stays in good shape" again a hypothetical, as it remains to be seen. his style will give Wlad trouble, I'll go that far with it.

Toney will get hurt if he fights Wlad. Same thing with Roy. Roy & JT are too small. I would hope nobody would allow these fights.

Toney already ducked Wlad. He was offered a 60/40 split and Toney turned it down to take much less to fight Ruiz and ended up losing after testing positive for steroids.

You are aware that Wlad has knocked out 90% of his opponents? I know you're the biggest douchebag on the site for a longtime regular, but you have to have some moments of honesty. :lol1::lol1: Toney is done now, Wlad would take him out.

First of all the fight is bullshit Second of all i dont understand why anyone would enjoy Wlads interpretation of "rolling" any fighter for 8 or 9 rounds. and Third of all, It took him 11 rounds to knock out Thompson, and he couldnt even hurt Ibragimov. James Toney may be old and shot, but the man is rediculously tough and has a rediculous hard chin. Klitschko couldnt knock him out even if he actually threw his right hand once in a while You are aware that Wlad has knocked out 90% of his opponents?

That would be great. I'd rather see Toney fight Haye, but I'd enjoy Wlad rolling him around the ring for eight or nine rounds before putting the old man to sleep.

Oh wow I just saw the threadstarter already beat me to the sister joke..:grumble:

Well when james is knocking out that bum, he can fight whoever he wants. Maybe he'll fight his sister, Vitali!

His next fight will be against Wladimir Klitschko on February 7, 2009. It is outrageous that Klitschko keeps ducking Povetkin :lol1:

Yeah, wikipedia is the most reliable source when it comes to fight schedules. It's bull. Never siad it was a certainty! I really hope this fight eventuates cos Toney's been calling the Klitchkos out for a long time. Along with all the shit he's said about them!LOL It would be a great fight and another scalp for Toney's certain first ballot for HOF.

Wlad by KO.......
