[Da Iceman]

thats some funny ****

For those of you who saw the post fight press conference between Toney and Rahman on another popular boxing site, you know what James Toney said. For those of you who didn't see or hear it, here are some of his statements:

"Rahman is a real fighter; we ain't like these Germans and Russians you all trying to build up."

"We Afro-Americans... we ain't scared to fight nobody."

"You keep trying to build up the Great White Hype, it's not gonna happen"

"You all can stop all that"

"There isn't going to be a white heavyweight champ, unless it's in Europe... and that's real"

He mentions the Klitchkos and Valuev. Rahman is heard laughing in the background along with most of the ***** crowd who won't stand up to these de****ably racist comments.

thats some of the funniest **** i ever heard.

it is a bit off the wall isn't it?

.....Sounds like Toney was trying to make his case for an immediate rematch with Rahman and attempted to discredit Maskaev as a challenger in a round about way. Who knows if he really means that or not. Scully would probably say that James is just stiring it up and doesn't mean it. The bottom line is that if a white fighter said it the **** would really hit the fan.

There will never be a white heavyweight champion again....


........not something I'll be losing any sleep over.

She has a point, Lewis went for immediate rematches with both men. He had to take Rahman to court to get him back in the ring, and McCall refused. Of course years later Lewis busted him up so bad that McCall had a nervous breakdown in the ring and pissed his pants.

Klitschko did not even think about fighting Sanders again, nor did he ever fight Purity or Brewster. It looks bad in the history books when you look back at the record and see three unavenged losses.

That's not the case.

McCall was losing his marbles in there, without having taken any punishment.

That's because Lewis had no idea on what to do when a guy drops his hands and starts walking around the ring, but that was not the case in the early rounds where Lewis was boxing his ears off.

...Who says Wlad didn't want to fight Sanders? Also, Purrity was an old turd and would have served no purpose for Wlad to beat up on in the last several years. Brewster was in the works at the same time as Byrd but just didn't work out. If he had gotten past Sergei and Wlad had beaten Byrd then my guess is that they would have made that fight happen. They both talked about it like it was going to be the next fight. He may still avenge the Brewster loss. Sanders injuries will not allow him to come back IMO. I would like to see Wlad avenge that one most of all though.

Wlad could have fought Sanders and didnt, same for Purity. It's called immediate rematch, I'm sure Purity would not have turned a rematch down. Of course ten years later he is an old turd, what about back then? He could have fought Brewster too, he was the mandatory for the WBO and IBF after beating Peter - FACT. He chose the guy he already manhandled in Byrd - instead of Brewster. And this is coming from a guy who thinks Wlad is the best heavy out there, so everyone knows I'm not biased in my commentary.
