James Toney: "I'm Knocking Thompson into Goossen's Lap"

[Brunswick Assassin]

Lights Out 'Baby' with a seventh round stoppage of Tony Thompson. What more can you say about Toney, he's been in with the best fighters in the world in each division he's fought in.

Toney handles southpaws with ease with Jirov, J. Robinson, Reggie Johnson, and Wesley Martin being amongst Toney's victims. Toney even turns Southpaw during fights so he's covered in that are. Toney has the edge in experience having had nearly three times the amount of fights Thompson has had with experience being crucial in this great sport.

Wlad Klitchko and probably Guinn are the only real credible opponents Thompson has on his CV.

[Mr. Ryan]

Tony Thompson will outwork old Toney and win a decision. The difference in size is ridiculous.

I admit Toney looked good in the 3rd round against Rahman but he looked horrible against Batchelder and Peter the second time.

Thompson despite his age is still relatively fresh.

Tony Thompson is probably the worst style for Toney because of the styles. Thompson will make Toney fight at a distance and pay a price to come in. Assuming that Thompson's knee has recovered properly, he will soundly defeat Toney.

Just my opinion though.

[Silencers]

I think this is Thompson's fight to lose honestly, if he follows a right gameplan, he can win the fight pretty handily.

All Thompson has to do to win this fight is use his size and reach and fight with a little discipline. James may have his moments, but I don't know if he has enough to overcome this size disadvantage.

I hope he proves me wrong. James is still a beast though.

He only needs to use his height and reach in this fight.

Toney would have to fight perfectly to win, I just don't think he has it in him to do that anymore.

I predict it will look like Toney vs Nunn in slow motion, except there won't be a knockout for Toney at the end.

I agree, he just needs to keep the fight at his distance, use his jab, clinch whenever Toney comes in close and he wins the fight, if he fights ******ly though and lets Toney get inside and work him over then he loses, it's his fight to lose.

This is a joke fight, Thompson was pathetic against Wlad and Burger King boy Toney was pathetic against Hasbeen Rahman, well infact he's been pathetic ever since he stopped becoming an athlete and decided to rid half the world of its fast food content.
