James Toney vs Tony Thompson 12/6

[The Hammer]

Toney vs. Thompson is an interesting matchup, and if it's added to the Pacman-DLH PPV, then I'll buy it for certain.

That's a bad date unless it's on the Pacquiao-DLH card. Interesting fight.

Toney is a Goosen fighter so I can't imagine him getting on a Top Rank/Golden Boy card.

[Scott9945]

Thats what he said, but I don't like him wasting his time like this. I mean he's 40 years old. Surely one of these jokes of a champion would give him one final shot.

Maybe he needs to beat a contender before he gets a title fight. He already lost to Peter and a fight with Wladimir Klitschko would be a joke.

Toney is a Goosen fighter so I can't imagine him getting on a Top Rank/Golden Boy card.

Maybe they made a deal, doesn't make sense for them to put it on the same date as DLH-Pacquiao.

If Toney somehow manages to win against Thompson and gets another title shot, I would rather see him against Chagaev (if he ever makes his return) than any of the other title holders (Wlad, Peter/Vitali, Valuev).

It could turn out to be a very good contest between two skilled boxers.
Chagaev isn't too big for Toney.

Toney against Vitali, Wladimir or Valuev would be like watching a circus show.

[potatoes]

Toney doesn't deserve a title shot.

Why would he need to "deserve" it?

[sylvestersweet]

I don't think I wanna watch another Thompson fight. I'll probably skip that one.
Toney has bigger fish to fry.

these jokes of champions including tony t would beat toney in one sided fights. toney is damaged goods. when youre out boxed by sam peter and danny balcheder or whatever the hell his name is its time to move on

Personally I believe a fight is actually made when I hear it from the promoter or the TV network rather than the fighter himself.

Toney beats Thompson fairly easily IMO. I just didn't see anywhere near enough from Thompson against Wlad to suggest he has what you need to beat Toney, even at this stage. Toney UD.
