Tony Thompson Discusses Potential James Toney Clash

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Tony Thompson's 11-round struggle with IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko appeared to be the end of the road for the tough Washington D.C. native. He was counted out after a competitive back-and-forth tussle, but his big fight hopes might not be entirely extinguished. [details]

Thompson will win a wide UD

Against a fat Toney yes, but if Toney comes in shape... who knows

Yall are crazy as hell thinking Toney would lose to this bum.

WTF?

I think this is a much tougher fight for Toney than you do. Thompson went 11 rounds with Klitschko and was winning rounds. Thats much more impressive to me than anything Toney has done in recent years.

Thompson is underrated. He is power away from being a true top heavy. Look at how much he was able to touch up Wlad. He just didn't carry the power to actually hurt him. Tony Thompson UDs this version of James Toney, fat or not.

Care to bet if they fight? I have Thompson, who is underrated by many.

It would be nice to see Thompson get a couple of big fights, he deserves it. Toney vs. Thompson is an interesting matchup.

Thompson has the style to exploit a lot of Toney's vulnerabilities. He's not going to come right at him and linger on the inside, he'll make Toney pick his feet up and maneuver for ring position. That is not what this incarnation of Toney is about.

Relatively easy fight for Thompson.

I never understood people's fascination with Toney, whose HW "success" was more circumstencial then actually his own accomplishment. And on top of that Toney is a proven(twice) juicer.

Toney will lose by UD. Didn't know Thompson was promoted by Goosen, I thought he was mostly a west coast promoter. Anyway Thompson had a bum knee when he fought Wlad? I don't think it would've made too big a difference, maybe a UD for Wlad instead of a KO.
