I don't think any of the smallish heavys will do well against VK..including Toney. He is to big and too active for those guys. I think it will eventually be a big heavy with a big right hand that will get to him. He keeps that left down dangerously. If Rahman is in shape, I would give him a decent chance to pull the upset.
That is what I was talking about when I said that it will take a fighter that is 6'4 240 acting like a small fighter to get to VK.
Toney just gives up too much height, and when VK blows him out, the haters would just say that VK beat up on some little blown up middleweight.

i'm not a "hater" or a "nuthugger", I'm just happy we have a Heavyweight with a little skill and charisma. We need some excitement in the division,and he brings some.
the thought of a Byrd vs Ruiz fight gives me a migrane, but VK against either one sounds good to me.
i think joe frazier would destroy him, he got through the best jab in heavyweight history (ali). also in sparring he broke larry holmes' ribs getting passed his jab. theres no way to keep the man out! unless you ahve foremans uppercut LOL
I agree, Rock and/or Byrd would school Vitali if he fights them in '05, here's my new top 10 list after last Saturday's showdown:
1. Chris Byrd (finally touchable, but still the illest out there)
2. James Toney (untouchable, brought power up to heavyweight)
3. John Ruiz (keeps winning)
4. Hasim Rahman (always 1 punch away from victory)
5. Vitali Klitschko (3 fights in a row vs. outta-shapers)
6. Lamon Brewster (big lazy counter-puncher)
7. Vladimir Klitschko (bigger, softer headhunter)
8. Danny Williams (loveable punching bag)
9. Andrew Golota (still a danger to anybody)
10. Jameel McCline (see #6)

Watching the Joe Frazier fights of the 60s and 70s one would think that.
I am not sure how big Frazier was, but I would bet that he was about 5'11 or 6'. He also weighed about 210, but with the nutrition of today he could get up to 220-230 without much of a problem.
The question is, how many shots would he have to take to keep raking VK to the body.
The Foreman fights were a little indicative of what would happen. frazier would be caught coming in.

I wasn't calling you a hater, I was agreeing with you.
