well wlads opposition is much better than toneys
he fought sanders, n brewster, n now peter
toneys biggest was against ruiz which he barely won, even though he used his steroids

Barely won according to who?

hmm

Bottom line, Klitschko should be in that poll. He has question marks but so do the others and many feel he would whip James Toney. Toney's resume at heavyweight is poor but he is obviously the most skilled one. Will that skill make up for lack of size and strength vs guys like Klitschko and Brewster? Who knows...

[snap the jab]

I voted for Lamon Brewster - James Toney is a vastly superior boxer but he's too old and small to dominate the heavies.

If Wladimir had his brother's chin and heart, he'd easily dominate the heavyweight division. The way that that 6'7" guy moves is simply amazing. But you can't be the dominant heavyweight if you fall down every time someone hits you hard...

This is a perfect example of the HBO hype to promote the Rahman Vs. "The Best HeavyWeight in the World" AKA Toney fight

HBO hype is none otha than Vitali.

the results of the poll seem about right. toney is fun and that is why people like him.

How many times has Wladimir lost at heavyweight? 3-4?

How many times has Toney lost at heavyweight? 0?

Who has Toney fought with a pulse? And No, not Evander...

[Derranged]

Wlad isnt up there but he's still beter than Ruiz. But part of the reason i guess is he's lost a certain amount of respect some of which he can never gain back even if he beat Brewster

[Bozo_no no]

yeah, there are a lot of Toney fanboys here. Toney is a great fighter, but he's getting older and isn't a natural heavyweight. He definitely lost his fair share of the early rounds vs Ruiz. Toney fought well during rounds 7-12 though and won most if not all of them with Ruiz a sitting duck.

Funny, if Roy Jones had stayed at Heavyweight and won the same fights, I have a feeling you'd be singing a very different tune.



And you guys need to stop talking about that fight with Ruiz like it was competitive. The only time it was is when Toney was taking a round off. He was brutalized to the body, and counter punched apart.

[SugaShane]

I wonder what the result would of been if Ruiz ACTUALLY stayed true to his style of clutch n grab. Then Toney woulda knocked him out.
