    Why doesnt James Toney get a title shot?

    I was just thinking, guys like Tony Thompson, Sultan Imbragimov, Hasim Rahman, and Juan Gomez get title shots at both the Kiltschko brothers so why not Toney. I know hes fat and 40 but I still think he has more skill than any of those guys. I think he would still probably lose to either but I think he deserves 1 more shot at the heavyweight title before any of these other fighters do.

    This version of Toney gets beat by all of them except Rahman.

      When he has needs a gift from the judges to the W over someone like Fres Aquendo, it doesn't really making him look like a viable opponent for the K-Bros.

        The **** Boyz don't fight guys that have defense and can punch. He called them out they just act like they don't hear him.

          Toney is finished. Aside from Rahman, a late substitute (I'd rather have seen Toney instead of him), all of the men you listed had earned their title shot more so than Toney.

            Toney right now would be murdered by the Klitschkos, and those are the only titles that should have a guy considered heavyweight champ.

              Exactly, and Ibragimov was a title holder at the time. Exactly how much credit would Wlad get for beating a 41 year old Toney, who barely sc****d by a borderline clubfighter in his last fight?

                Come one man, We got a few hopefuls to make **** interesting with Chambers, Arreola, Haye, Johnson, Povetkin, etc. etc. Last thing we need is Toney fighting one of the Klitsckos where he just gets dominated and the fight is called when he's sitting on the stool.
