Rahman Vs. Toney

[mayweather]

yeah i know a little late to talk about it but did u guys ever see a decent punch besides a weak jab from rahman, land on toney? i think tony should have won the fight hands down. Kinda ******. Oh well toneys times at heavyweight will be over if he fights wlad

[GreatestIam]

Not....... The fact is TONEY is going to become HW champ before he fights WLAD and by that time hell be pushing 39 but will be in great shape... Ive heard recently that his already lost close to 8 pounds and his not even training, and that the reason he was so big (NOT OUTTA SHAPE) but BIGGER was to have a little padding and more power for the fight, but with all the critsicm he recieved look for him to be in GREAT shape his next fight

He lost more than 8 pounds. He lost like 18 or something after the fight while he was in the hospital.

[RAESAAD]

Rahman won the fight if anyone did........

Couldn't disagree more with your opinion of who won...and I'll take it one step further. I think Rock carried him....I think the draw was pre-determined. Rock didn't commit any power shots of note to Toney. Those inside shots were more often than not patty cake punches. Toney was nailing Rock; but Toney has no heavyweight power. Also, anytime a fighter starts making excuses for his opponent after a fight is scored a draw...and starts talking about a rematch that shouldn't be necessary...I get su****ious. Rock won that fight IMO....why did he start making excuses for Toney's lack of conditioning? Isn't that Toney's job? And, furthermore, as out of shape as Toney was, why didn't Rock press him more? And instead of being upset by the draw...he starts off with "Well, something must have happened in Toney's training camp...I'm sure he'll do better next time."...or something to that effect.

Rock was bankrupt before the fight and he's talking about a rematch. Hmmmmmm. It stinks, if you ask me. Anytime a well condidtionede 238 Lb hard punching heavyweight can't knock out a ill-prepared fat middleweight...something's wrong.

After that fight, a rematch with Toney might have made some sense. But know with Klitscho calling for unification, Rahman and his promoters are in a much more favorable position to make alot of money with a unification bout while giving the fans what they want. Besides, James Toney does not deserve another title shot until he beats a top ten heavyweight in excitable fashion.

** Geez, go find another sport, like throwing darts on the side of a barn. Rahman landed many right hands and left hooks and James ******* looked like a club fighter on Zoloft. He's not only fat, he's shot and punch drunk just like you.

[joeytrimble]

i thought toney landed alot of good rights and enough punches over all to push for a draw...

anytime you get a guy that out works a guy and another guy that throws a ton of shots but misses a load its always a draw
