Going into the fight I at least thought Toney would be able to give Vitali somewhat of a good fight. After the fight was over I came to the conclusion that Toney would not be able to beat any top heavyweight contender and that he'd struggle to beat a top 40 heavyweight. He couldn't even put away Booker, he lost 2 rounds, and Booker is a horrible C level heavyweight. I don't agree with Byrd much but he said it nicely when he said that none of the heavyweights are going to be losing much sleep over Toney after the performance he put on tonight.
This is why Toney is the Best HW out there

Even though it was a ****ty one.
The other guys he's fought weren't true heavyweights.Comment

Oh ok.Originally posted by NeuraxisActually Booker started out at cruiserweight but he is such a fatass that he can't make that weight any more.
So Toney still hasn't faced a true heavyweight.Comment

He beat an old Holyfeild at heavyweight last year, and he beat Jirov at Cruserweight last year-- The guy has a chance as a heavyweight, he will fight a real heavyweight later this year on HBO. Then we will see if he can make it one the heavyweight scene. I was not unimpressed by his showing tonight, he didn't knock the young guy out but I give Toney a chance he can fight.Comment

Although I am not a boxer, I felt like I could have given Booker the same fight Toney did tonight.Originally posted by QueenCityHe beat an old Holyfeild at heavyweight last year, and he beat Jirov at Cruserweight last year-- The guy has a chance as a heavyweight, he will fight a real heavyweight later this year on HBO.

i'm glad to see the haters are out tonight. It's not that booker is bad it's that toney is so good he made Booker look so bad. You can't KO every one. but he did take out holyfield how many fighters can say they did that. Toney has skills and will continue to take out the HW div one by one, and one day you all will wake up and say damn THEGREAT1 was right.Comment
