WBC Votes Maskaev as Rahman's Next Foe

[Nautilus]

I would rather see a unification fight after this...

[Bozo_no no]

Toney didn't deserve a title shot to begin with. Comes in ridiculously overweight and out of shape, looks terrible, and is gifted with a draw in a fight that Rahman obviously won, and is now guaranteed a rematch?

They love their sactioning fees, I'll tell ya...

Idiotic/corrupt judging and greedy sanctioning bodies are why boxing is a bottom tier sport. Sad.

Toney will probably have plenty of time to properly stack and complete a cycle this time, however. He should be able to set up a perfect cycle and test clean, knowing this far ahead of time almost exactly when the rematch should occur once they set the Maskaev bout.

And Maskaev does deserve a shot?

You are so full of **** it's not even funny.

[Bozo_no no]

What is the point of giving Toney another shot at the winner of this match?

What was the point of Maskeav getting a title shot.

The Rahman Toney fight was a draw. They need to settle it, and that's why it was ordered that the winner of this fight should face Toney.

Why settle it? Rahman has defended his title. That's it. Let's see some unification next.

If you were worried about unification you wouldn't have a hard on for Maskaev fighting.

Toney and Rahman fought to a draw. They should have settled it striaght away without Maskaev being anywhere near a title shot.

The wbc must really want Toney as champ. First letting him leapfrog over the #1 Maskaev, then the gift draw, now making Toney the mandatory for the winner. I agree with Toney getting that roid cycle in too. I bet he comes in ripped in his next fight.

Is it any coincidence there's a bunch of Klitscko Nut Huggers who have no problem with Maskaev's #1 rank in the 1st place?

It's far and away the most suspect thing to do with this topic.

Where is the unification that everybody talked about? How can WBC rule that the winner MUST face Toney, doesn't a champion get at least one fight before fighting a mandatory? This is just pathetic.

agreed. the WBC has been forcing the fights THEY want to see, ordering immediate rematches and **** like that. Three bogus decisions in one year.

1. ORDERING Corrales to defend against Castillo due to "controversial victory"

2. ORDERING Taylor's first defense against Winky Wright. BULL****

3. ORDERING a rematch after Toney blew his chance

You are so full of **** it's not even funny.

Um, in case you missed it, Toney JUST GOT A SHOT. Came in looking like ****, fought like ****, etc. So what I am talking about is whether that performance earns him a rematch. Maskaev won an eliminator to get his shot, and we have yet to see how he will do.

I think you are confused. One has nothing to do with the other.

[DiegoFuego]

Toney does not deserve a rematch. Just because the challenger gets a draw does not rule him worthy of a rematch. That's trash, and I'm a huge Toney fan.
