i know i am bold to say this..but i dont think VK beat Toney...i think VK OWNS! him...VK would use that long jab and set up big punches all night...and would ko toney around...6th round
i mean like i have said from middlewight on down-height and reach (gatti/ward...and mab/morales prove this right)dont mean anything...but at HW it does..it really does and can f**k u up when the hieght and reach is so different like it would be if these two fight....i mean toney is not even like tyson, tyson atleast would have his strenght to rely on, but toney cant take VK out with one punch...Lewis and sanders cooudnt!
at HW u dont have to have great talent ot boxing ability to be champ..i am not saying VK doesnt have talent..i am just saying in general you dont have to have talent to dominate the HW division
i agree with you to some extent. it does seem like the lighter weight division guys have better skills.
If you think he holds no fear, then why has he not fought anyone legitimate in the heavyweight division? Before he injured his achilles, he was supposed to fight Mccline, but when he returned from injury he did not fight Mccline, he fought an out of shape drug dealer in Rydell Booker, if he had no fear he should have gone after Mccline again.
I don't blame Toney for fighting Rydell Booker, he made a wise move in my opinion. Going straight into a fight with McCline after having a semi long layoff through injury would be silly, the Booker fight was a safe test to make sure he was 100% fine after the injury. I expect to see Toney fighting a big name in his next fight.
if toney can get under vitali's jab, he will school klitchko. the difference in class and skill is so wide if they were the same size it would be a mis-match. toney needs a couple of injury free years to clean up the mess that is the heavyweight division.
I think Toney is the guy with the most potential in the heavyweight division. But we need to see a big punch land on his jaw a few times to check he's got the big chin. If his chin is as solid as Holyfields, Foremans or Mercers then he'll probably become the champ for a while.

Toney has been shaken up by Cruiserweight fighters so i don't doubt a heavyweight could hurt him. His slickness helps him avoid big hits. I think he'll take the power well purely because of his heart and courage and most of all "No Fear".

You're probably right but I think Toney needs to turn his talk into action. Brooker as an opponent was hardly a massive test.
wez, when you say cruiserweight fighters, do you mean jirov? cos while he threw alot of punches i can't remember him hurting toney. i'll have to watch that fight again, i love it. i knew toney would beat him from the moment it was signed.

Too true Foremanfan, he has talked alot so now we do need to see action or he'll just make himself look like a big bag of ****.
Cmason The fight i was refering to was the Jason Robinson fight, he got tagged with a beautiful hit that sent him to the ropes but he regained himself and KO'd him the same round. I got the fight.
