    the only thing I question about your statement is the fact that Toney has ten times better defensive skills than johnson

      For Toney, Peter is a better opponent. Peter is moving on in the rankings with those short night's work he has had recently, and yet, still appears to need some polishing up.

      Toney could do the polishing, i.e., mop the canvass with Peter.

      Seriously, Toney is much too skilled for the raw Peter; provided, that the James that goes up the ring is the best Toney that can be had at this time.

      As for VK-Toney, I suggest we watch what goes on this weekend...

          The only names in the divison right now are VK, Byrd, and Toney. And I honestly see Byrd getting the chance before Toney, given the fact that Byrd "won" their last fight against each other and he is the IBF champion.

            yes you are right- the belts are the key. VK is after all the belts so yes Byrd will probably get a shot before Toney does. If toney really wants this fight he should start harrassing VK like the way Tarver did to Jones, show up at his press conferences and mouthing off to him. I could see that happening- Toney mouthing off and disrespecting VK so bad that he finally gets a title shot this way. That is if he wants it. Lets not forget Toney is on the injured list right now.

                    After so many years of being champ, Lennox has been called out so many times that VK's call won't be anything new to him.

                    If he'd listen, I think, he'd ask, "What's in it for me?"

                    I don't know the answer.
