Jim Lampley picks Hasim Rahman over Toney

[PBDS]

I have no interest in wasting my time spelling out my in depth thoughts to someone who couldn't even begin to have a realistic conversation about the subject matter.

Toney's top 5 right now, and a win moves him up to the point where he could be considered at the top depending on what you think of the other title holders.

Until someone unifies, the top spot is vacent, and the top 2 or 3 are all subjective.

None of this really matters in regards to what you think, because you've proven over and over agian your interst and knowledge run hand in hand along the gutter.

...Alright skippy, I'm off to bed while you spin and avoid the issue. Hopefully you won't spend your entire night on here arguing your inane points and you will be fresh as a daisy for the fight tomorrow night. I just can't wait to see your comments if Rahman finds a way to beat Toney. So until tomorrow, good night honey!!

toney's weight doesn't bother me that much so long as he performs the best he can. Toney was born to fight, until I see some sign of his physical conditioning making him a worse fighter in the heavyweight division, I can't assume that it really matters..

Good night. Let us know if you dream that Vitali actually had the balls to fight Rahman and how long it took Hasim to make him quit.

I could not agree more. The fact of the matter is, Toney's victories at HW are more impressive than Vitali's by far. Its only the blind nuthuggers that try to blow up fringe guys like Sanders and Williams into better fighters than they are.

So, you're saying that Guinn is a better fighter than Williams or Johnson? Is Booker also a better fighter than Williams or Johnson? Guinn is basically a good fighter that had high hopes in the beginning, but it seems he's weak mentally, and he completely took himself out of the Toney fight. So, you don't thin that Sanders could have beaten Booker? What about Johnson?
Now I admit, I would be a fool to even consider comparing VK's career to Toney's, but come on, I'm a huge Holy fan but what power he had is pretty much gone, and he hasn't done serious road work in preparation for a fight in some time, there was no way he was going to last against someone as slick as Toney. I'm not saying that Toney won't succeed at heavy, but calling him the man at heavy because of his accomplishments at the lower weights is a little unfair IMO. I have no doubt whatsoever that Toney is going to the HOF and he deserves it, but some of the things that are being said about him are a little premature in my eyes.

if Rahman finds a way to beat Toney.

now that's a big if.

[hollister]

Vitali Klitschko retired with Kirk Johnson, Corrie Sanders, and Danny Williams as his biggest career wins.

Toney could be fighting for another year or two, and easilly has the opportunity to out do that.

That's NOTHING in the big picture.

Wait a minute, that sounds familiar.

Could it be that you're calling Toney the man at heavy based on....

what he may do in the future?

Hmmm, interesting.

Lampley is an HBO employee and it is far more desirable for HBO, who always want the broadcast rights to the heavyweight champion, to have Rahman as champion.

Rahman is strong, can hit and box a little while is a good talker and is younger than Toney and has more to prove than Toney.

The title on Rahman is a much more interesting proposition for world boxing in general.

Of course, Lampley is play by play, but he's employed by HBO, thus a vocal aspect of their organization transmitted to the masses.

Look at how he shat on Showtime's Calzaghe-Lacy result the other week. If he was a professional in his own right and not tied to HBO, and appreciative of the needs of boxing fans I don't think he woul dhave leaked one of the biggest boxing results we'll see this year.

I'm picking Rock to ko him tomorrow night but if he can't get the job done than Wlad and if Byrd isn't slipping as badly as I think he is they both would beat him.

Wow is that ironic coming from a 41 year old man who spends more time talking non related non sense to the point where he gets banned.

You make a complete ass of yourself everytime you post in this forum.

You don't know anything about boxing, and everytime you try and 'debate' something, you just end up yelling like a kid in Junior High about immature non sense.

Stick to the thundedome gramps.

Leave the boxing talk to people who actually like the sport.

idk, in my opinion it will be a VERY close fight....i can't see either one of them losing.
