Is Vitali Too Big For Toney To Beat?

[brickhouse187]

No it's not size it's skill that will affect the fight. If Toney really trains hard for this fight he could easily win or he can lose. Styles make fights.

KO inside 4, for Vitali. Just too strong, and JT does take punches.

JT Vs Byrd is the one.

I think JT would have a good chance of winning this fight.

JT is about the same height as Marciano, maybe an inch shorter, and I know he is quite a bit heavier than the rock, but he really doesn't punch all that well for a 220 or 230 lb. fighter. I can't see him having enough power to hurt VK to the body, hell, I can't even see him getting inside very much against VK. At first he might be fast enough to get inside, but as he slowed, and started to really take punches on the side and on top of the head, it would start to look ugly, and they might stop it.

Toney too small

Toney is old school and would have been a world class fighter in any era, kind of like Archie Moore or a Doug Jones, but he is way too small for Klitschko's reach. Vitali would pop him with that long right hand and BOOM, the lights would go.

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.

Oh man, Wez. Good memory. I have the Robinson fight on tape and had almost forgotten that. I just went back and watched it, though, and I don't think that he was really hurt. Knocked badly off-balance, but not hurt. Actually, in some ways it reminded me of the RJ knockdown. Minus the knockdown of course. But you know what I'm saying, he took a bunch of steps back to regain his balance.

I disagree. Strenuously. Toney is not a one-punch artist, but he hits hard. Watch the Jirov fight, man. Jirov is continually rocked by heavy, heavy shots and when Toney goes after his man in offensive mode, he's amazing. He just doesn't push that hard. If he had pushed harder, he prolly could have taken Jirov out, but may have burned out himself. The risk just isn't worth the kayo to him. Still, he hits hard as ****, and don't think otherwise.

Anyone think that James Toney would sign on to fight Samuel Peter being that Peter has been calling him out recently?
