Wlad wants to fight Toney so he can unify faster. Period.
Toney is an obstacle in the way of his unifying the titles. You said before that you would respect Wlad when he unified the titles, right? Well, that's what he's trying to do. The WBC is the only non-don belt at the moment. And the first fighter to unify will probably cause Don to unify his two belts, finally, so that he doesn't lose a claim as having HW championship matches, with another unified champion around who would be regarded as the HW champion.
The fight isn't happening because Toney doesn't think he can win. I don't blame him.
And now Toney? I'd rather him fight Briggs or Sergei
See the irony?
Byrd was the CHAMPION. It doesnt matter if he was the weakest of all the HW champs, he was the CHAMP. Any fighter that is a champion, MOST DEFINENTLY has a chance against his challenger. Lyakovich is lined up to fight someone else, unless I'm mistaken.
Do you honestly think that Briggs deserves a title shot more than Toney?
Hell no! I see no reason why Briggs is even in the picture. But then again so is Kevin McBride and Maskaev.
But Briggs is more of a threat to Wlad than Toney is. That's what I'm convinced of after seeing Toney struggle with Rahman(I thought Toney won, but it wasn't like I expected).

It doesnt matter who the biggest threat is, what matters is who deserves a title shot more. There are retired HW's that are a bigger threat to Wlad than Toney is, but they dont deserve a title shot.
The 1.5 offer tells that Wlad doesn't think he can win. I don't blame him.
No, son. The 1.5M offer is indictative of Toney's last two title shots- a no contest suspension for steroid use to go along with a fat, blubbery gift draw.
