Toney was a bit too sloppy his last fight and got hit with punches he should have avoided. Five years ago I would have bet my life savings on Toney to beat Klitschko, and I am willing to conceed that he might even beat him now. Nevertheless it will take a much better performance than he put on against Sam Peter. The size difference actually works to Toney's advantage, or at least it would have five years ago. Even on one of his bad days Toney is not easy to hit and would present a small target for Klitschko to aim at. Although Toney is a master at neutralizing the size advantage, I have a feeling he might just be a little too old at this point.
Wlad vs Toney - Who wins?

Wlad didnt KO Peter because he was not fighting at ALL but purely boxed.. Had he ENGAGED I think Peter Would have ended up on his ass.. As for Klitschko VS Toney.. TOTAL DESTRUCTION of Toney.. not even CLOSEComment

Well, let me put it this way. Wlad would be picking shots all night. His jab and right hand would be in Toney's face all night.Comment

i dont think toney would even be able to reach wlad's chin. wlad is a good 9 inches taller than toney and much much stronger. and if toney got in close enough to go to the body, wlad would clinch like he did with peter.
wlad by late round TKO.Comment

What's Toney going to do, dance around like Ali?
Toney likes to be against the ropes and just stand there dodging punches by moving his upper body, but I don't understand why fighters just don't lay it on his body...A lot of Heavyweights today don't throw body punches, just imagine somebody like Prime Joe Frazier or Prime Mike Tyson fighting Toney.Comment

becuz peter has a granite chin and he was intent on out boxing peter,,not trying to knock him out and he came pretty close in that 12th round. without those knockdowns from rabbit punches it was a one sided fightComment

wlad doesn't throw body punches, at least, i've never seen him go to the body. with wlad's skills, it won't be easy for toney to get on the inside, where he needs to be, definitley not easy but not impossible either. toney would have to crouch under wlad's long jab like the old timers used to do then swarm wlad's body. toney can punch, he cracked ruiz's ribs when they fought, but wlad is one tough fight. even i don't see toney winning this fightComment
