Toney-Peter 2: Good For Boxing?
Collapse
-
This is an excellent news, this time around Toney will win on points for sure, no judge will give Peter a decision to avoid controversy. So, unless Peter knocks Toney out (ya, right), Toney will fight Maskaev next. After he wins the title, I hope we will finally see the unification fight with Wlad (assuming he will not lose to Brock). Hell, we could see unification by next summer.

completely disagree. while i would agree that toney is an exceptional boxer, i can't see how having an overweight, trash talking racist ******* could be good for the sport. he's not an exciting fighter outside of impressive counterpunching skills and almost literally cries about losing any decision. he was lucky to get a draw with rahman - really lucky.
Toney's one of the biggest draws in the division, and one of the few Heavyweights with some actual skills.

BTW I've also seen your last 2 top 20 heavyweight ranking which is a joke.

Bottom line is that they went wrong allowing Maskaev a BS defense in December and that's what's tying up the WBC title for 6 months.
Peter would have taken a fight in this time anyways, and it's great that it's a Toney rematch, because an overwhelming majority of fans and media thought Toney won the fight.Last edited by Bozo_no no; 09-27-2006, 10:48 PM.

It is entirely possible to like him but see the circumstances around him getting shot after shot at titles as suspect. If you think he did not get suspended by the NY commission for testing positive for steroids then say so. If you think he did beat a legitimately ranked top 10 heavyweight then name that fighter.

I see Toney losing again in Feb/March and retiring ...these boys just want a hero. He can't hurt any of the HWs and thats why he keeps losing. I kinda hope he loses against Peter, but I could care less who wins that fight, just so his farewell fight will be against Klitschko (for 1.5 Mil). He would be destroyed. Hell I think Laykovich would destroy him also. Could you imagine those lead right hooks the the michellen man all night
