James Toney DUCKED Wladimir Klitschko

[Bhopreign]

Im sure Toney felt he deserved more than 1.5 mil, end of. Nice to see Corrie Sanders took the fight though.

Wrong, what you can't read what you posted? Lewis himself said he was training for Johnson, then Johnson got injured and Vitaly stepped in with ten days notice. Lewis was in training camp way before that, so he had way more than just ten days, unlike Vitaly.

As for OP, he is right, Toney did duck the Klitschkos back in 06. Now he is so broke he would fight them for half of that $1.5 million. But he hasn't won a meaningful fight since 06, unless you count being caught with steroids TWICE, loosing to Peter TWICE, gift over Oquendo, and SD over Batchleder (for which he needed steroids) - whatever his name is, meaningful. So I doubt the Klitschkos will give that fat racist a fight, maybe if he wins tonight, maybe.

lol think you better check your own reading skills .

He even said that Vit was training for him for much longer.


Lets take this from the top.........

Lennox Lewis: I had taken a year off after fighting Mike Tyson, and I came back to fight Kirk Johnson. I had prepared for Johnson, but it was supposed to be a tuneup fight for Klitschko, who I was supposed to fight at the end of the year. [Johnson was injured and pulled out of their fight.]. I took the fight with Klitschko on ten days notice. ]I had one sparring session with a guy over six feet tall, and he only gave me five rounds.

Klitschko was actually training for a while for me. Klitschko wasn't a fight where I was trying to out-box him, I was trying to knock him out. My style was just to go walking through a guy that was bigger than me, and I wanted to see if he was tougher than me.

I'll admit, he was successful in the first two rounds, but after that, it was all me. I was really taking him into the deep end. This was a war. We're gladiators. After that fight, I realized that at my worst, I can beat Klitschko, so at my best, I know that I can beat him. So there was no real hunger for him. So that was the right time to walk away from the game. Besides, he's not a guy who said that he was going to eat my children or anything, so I could walk away, no problem.

Vit just fought Larry Donald 7 months before hand Lewis took a year off.
