Toney the Phoney

[enadeus]

Will he ever hold a heavyweight belt, and if he does which one and do you think he will eat his breakfast from on top of it?

I think Toney will defenitley hold a belt, skill wise in the heavys, he cant be touched, maybe Byrd, but Byrd dont look to good as of late, Toney is like a freak of nature, Small, strong, compact, slick and tough.

[DODGER]

Well, Toney already beat Ruiz. I don't think he has a chance with Brew or Vitali. I think Toney-Byrd would be the fight I would like Toney to fight the most. I don't know who I would pick in that fight. I would hope Toney would win because he's my favorite fighter that I like to watch.

I think Toney could beat Brewster because Lamon is real lazy in the ring and would look for a late KO against Toney. It won't happen though because Lamon would never land a clean shot on Toney to knock him out! Toney is one of those fighters that needs to be beat down to be ko'd and Lamon doesn't throw enough punches to do it. Toney wins a landslide decision.

So why is he a phony?

He did with one hand against Ruiz. But they took it away from him. I think Toney will win another belt again, Toney will do good for 2 or 3 more years, he is 37, so he's not getting any younger. To me Toney adds a little excitement in the boring heavyweight division.

He's a good fighter and may pick up a title, but that doesnt mean that hes not a cheating roid head.

I know it's a long call... But Toney is in a position to acheive pure greatness. He keeps saying that he wants to fight Vitali, well just imagine he did fight Vitali and was able to pull a shock win!

He would have to go down as one of the greatest fighters ever. Toney would be the 1st former middleweight champion to win the heavyweight crown since Bob Fitzsimmons over a century ago!

Now like him or not, that's special.

p.s... I am specifically ignoring that Roy Jones Junior WBA John Ruiz Carnival for a reason. - Lennox Lewis was the REAL heavyweight champ at the time, as is Vitali now.
