Also keep in mind, Toney is going to aim for Kimbo. Kimbo is the easy road and Goosen is going to aim for Kimbo any chance he gets.
Lesnar is out for a while, and all four HW contenders (Cain, Nog, Mir, Carwin) will be recouping. The logical answer would be either Gonzaga or Nelson.
Toney should not get Kimbo. It's too easy and he'll bring up a stink that he "beat MMA" using Kimbo as an example.
toney would get hurt bad... I think someone like haye or abraham.. guys that are athletic and have a big punch would have a good chance of beating a couple of guys but toney?? hell no.. he'd embarass boxing.. please god no.. we'd have all these MMA dick riders invading us..
Nah. Reasonable fans aren't like that.
If you did get something of the sort, it be from people who shouldn't be posting on forums in the first place.

I think Shannon Briggs was talking about this as well. Briggs would probably do better, as he is a huge puncher and a natural heavyweight. Boxers will always be in with a chance, but in reality, it's always going to be a small chance unless they train hard for MMA.
Good idea, Kongo's wrestling sucks. He can't do good double leg for million dollars.
But he has nasty kicks and knees, Toney needs to work at least on checking those kicks, but clinch would be a problem. Don't forget, those guys are natural HW's, while Toney should fight at CW at least.
Kongo would be a good fight, if Toney is serious, could be a good fight.
Rather let him earn his shot at Kongo. Give him to Pat Berry or CroCop.
Better yet, give him to Thiago. Haven't seen a Brazilian execution in ages.
Hahaha toney is friggin hilarious...
Dana White: " It is unusual I' am even talking with you about this, I've had all kinds of boxers interested in fights, boxers like evander holyfield. Evander Holyfield was on my wall when I grew up and I didn't even hold a meeting with him."
James Toney: "You see what I did to that dude "
He is a fake boxing fan. He doesn't even know JMM FFS.
He didn't know what James Toney did to Holyfield. Pretty confident on that by his tone.
As for Toney, he will abosolutely get beat by anyone who wrestles and kciks well.
Nah he's a legit boxing fan.
Dana : "i had Evander on my wall and eveything"
JT: "and you see what i did to him" lol
Isn't that monster congo a stand up fighter? Give him that guy
James would murder him with his hands but Kongo is 6'4 240 or so and has nasty nasty leg kicks. He could probably just stay on the outside and chop Toney down in 1 round with low kicks and eventually bring one upstairs.
Plus Kongo has the best "knee to the balls" in MMA, the most effective tool in his stand up game.

Toney wants to prove boxing > mma. Thats why he doesn't want a mma career, he just wants to fight a UFC guy and then brag about how he showed boxing is better than mma.
I think Dana's biggest concern is what kinda money is Toney gonna want for this. Dana isn't a dip shit, he isn't going to over pay anyone for 1 fight.
But oh well. Let it happen. I just hope Dana doesn't give him someone stupid like Kimbo like all you guys are saying. Give him Big Nog. Lets see what Toney can do vs a legend.
If liddel can make it with his weak ass stand up game so can Toney (waits for a nerd to talk about chucks ncaa wrestling career) kimbo vs toney or any stand up fighter toney>>>>>>>>>>>>>>bar fighters
Nah. Lidell wrestling was on a community college level. It did suppliment his Kempo by helping him keep the fight standing.
BTW, what's your beef with NCAA wrestling? It's pretty much the closest we have to competitive freestyle wrestling in the US.
