Bad decision? Yes, but it doesn't change anything.

Give me a break,Toney is a freak show, boxing does not need Toney, what they need is a young heavyweight upcomer, Toney should quit!

[ZOSOOSOZ]

Toney should retire.

Toney should get his mouth wired shut between fights.

The man has insane skills and a warrior's heart, but his weight has finally blatantly affected his ring performance in a negative way.

Rock's broke, and money talks. He'd make more money fighting Toney again than he would fighting Maskaev.

That's correct. And even if Tyson came back to fight against Butterbean that would sell out PPV in five seconds.

What it would determine about the future of the division would amount to zero times five........Times Ten.

Yes, but the WBC should never have allowed the first fight to take place. They'd be hard pressed to allow a 2nd fight, esp since most saw a clear winner in Rahman. And let's face it, does the WBC want James Toney to be their HW champ? They want their belt seen as legitimate, in the end, sanctioning fees or no. I think they nix a rematch and enforce Maskaev.

The real question is whether or not this would entice Vitali to make one final comeback fight to beat Rahman and get his belt back. Vitali could have beaten Rock tonight so easily... even with his knee in 3 braces and a cast.

i know this decision doesnt hlpe us find whos the nunber 1 guy
BUT!!!
it does legitamize toney that much more
he can now say he drew with the last guy that clearly beat and KOd the HW divisions last unquestionable ruler
plus he beat ruiz altho on riods who himself had a claim to being a legit HW champ
even if he is dull

This decision has to go down as one of the worse decisions.They clearly wanna set a rematch.

[Bozo_no no]

Yes, but the WBC should never have allowed the first fight to take place.

And why is that? Because Maskaev should have gotten the fight? That's great productive logic.

problem is, toney's ego doesnt allow him to quit...in addition, i dont think he will quit, i can see him boxing far too long and losing a few more decisions

Do I really need to explain Eliminators to you? And then compare that to a steroid disqualification loss and a win over a habitual loser named Dominick Guinn?

Why have an eliminator is the winner isn't going to get a shot at the title?

Now, PLEASE explain YOUR logic. Thanks!

Anyone who believes Maskaev has actually earned any kind of title shot is fooling themselves.

He was looked over in the 1st place because it's a joke that he ever had that ranking.

I wouldn't be the least bit suprized to see a rematch happen because there would be more money in it.
