[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

BoxingScene.com spoke with promoter Dan Goossen about two of the heavyweights in his stable, James Toney and Tony Thompson. Goossen is trying to line up tough opponents for both in early 2010. As far as James Toney, Goossen is trying to get him a fight with either unbeaten Odlanier Solis or former light heavyweight champion Antonio Tarver. There have been talks for both. Goossen feels the fight with Tarver would be more of an interesting fight for the networks like HBO and Showtime. Tarver would move up from light heavyweight to heavyweight.

As long as we dont end up with Toney-Peter 3, Im fine

solis would beat toney handily at this point..but would definatly make solis work. thompson and peter is a pretty evenly matched fight..i would pick thompson by close decision because he has a big height and reach advantage and has very good jab and also has a good chin when he needs it..

It's good that Goossen will be keeping Tony Thompson active.

Thompson-Peter is an intriguing matchup, as is Thompson-Solis and Toney-Solis.

Those guys SHOULD be fighting each other, not clubfighters like Gabe Brown, Adnan Serin, Ronald Bellamy and Matthew Greer.

Tarver at Heavyweight....That would be interesting.

Something tells me that the build up to a Tarver-Toney fight would be more exciting than the actual event. These guys are old as dirt. I guess I'd have to pick Toney if the fight happened though. I'd watch it for sure nontheless.

The Toney-Tarver pressers are going to be classic... the fight... ummm probably not so much

[MJ406]

can somebody that has the ability to decisively beat Toney fight him next?

so sick of that disrespectful tub of lard.

Odlanier Solis would starch him.

But Toney would never fight him. James "Belly's Out" Toney is really just a loud-mouthed ***** who's been ducking the top heavyweights since the Peter fights.

[P.WILL]

They should give Arreola the Peter or Thompson fight
