    The Klitschko's would be tough for James good point, but I think if he came with the right gameplan he could possibly win a decision. I just feel that as far as overall boxing skill he is the best fighter in the division.

      Roy should have stayed a heavy weight, he would have beaten most of those bums.

      The only guys who should really give Toney trouble are the Klitschos. The rest are bums. Toney's gonna knock 'em all out.

        Let us do see that. At least we know Rahman isn't shot like everyone else James has fought at heavyweight.

        .....I would definitely like to see that!! I saw that article on ********* and thought it was very interesting. Something tells me that Toney will not take him up on that offer.

            Yeah I agree beating Klitcshko will be a tough task for Toney(because his size disadvantage) but the other champs I think he can beat.

              I watched james spar for many years. He can lay on the ropes as long as he can time your punches well. Why do you think he has been succefull at heavyweight, for the same reason Byrd has been. They are both naturaly smaller guys whose eyes became accustomed to the faster fists of the lower weight divisions. Both were defensively gifted before hand, but put them in with a heavyweight and they will feel like they are that guy on the matrix dodging bullets. Heavyweights are very slow and Rahman is no exception. He has nothing out of the ordinary that Toney has not seen before. I predict Toney lays on the rope talking **** to Rahman the whole time while Rahman trys to land a punch. Give Rahman a handfull of rocks and he may have better success if he throws all those rocks at james..........Rockin'

                I like Toney's skills but he's going against too much. He's old, he's short, and he's flabby. Foreman came back at an old age to cause a ruckus on the HW scene but he was incredibly powerful and 6'4". Toney has neither the power nor the reach, and his reflexes and handspeed won't be there forever.

                I just don't think Toney can hang in even this super weak heavyweight division. Maybe I'll change my tune after the Ruiz fight.

                  I think that he was so succesful at Heavy because he fought a very, very old Holyfield(who by the way was beating him in the beginning) and another blown up fat nobody in Booker. Lets see how he does against somebody decent(and I am not calling that ****er Ruiz decent)

                    Hey now if he beats Ruiz he is a legitmate heavyweight, I mean c'mon I hate Ruiz too but he has been champ for a long time.

                      I will totally give credit to ANYBODY to beat Ruiz...He is the man unstoppable unless Tua or Jones is in the Neutral corner as those are the only 2 men to beat him convincingly.
