    Toney's Promoter Responds To Byrd's Invitation

    Toney's Promoter Responds To Byrd's Invitation
    By G. Leon

    January 06, 2005 - After reading **********.com's TNT chat transcript with IBF heavyweight champion Chris Byrd, James Toney's promoter Dan Goossen sent us the following statement. "Chris Byrd---If you want to call Don be our guest. You take care of your business and we'll take care of ours. You want James Toney, tell Don and have him call me. I can assure you he does have my number. The question though is, do you really want James Toney? The fans know James will fight anybody, and the last time I spoke to James, you were one of the anybodys. Many have called him out, but few have gone further then talking. Now is not the time to do any more talking---James is ready. If you really are, have a talk with Don and if you two believe you can beat James, in a no strings attached fight, I'll sit by the phone like Mother Goose anxiously awaiting the call from your promoter."

            If Toney is willing to fight anyone, then can someone explain to me why he refused to give Mccline a fight after his so called achilles injury? Both Goossen and Toney should win an oscar for their acting skills.

                I would pick Toney to win this fight. Other than Vitaly for obvious reasons I think Toney is the only other real threat to Byrd. It would be bad for the division though, other than Byrd I don't see Toney beating any other top heavyweight.

                    Toney better fight someone of worth soon. I can see him having trouble finding fights though. He should fight mccline
