Das Ende vom Vogel und dann Toney vs. Wlad
Dazu Mormeck vs. Jones und Bell vs. Cunningham. Verdammt gute Card.

Boxing: James Toney: Which Heavyweight Contender/Champion Should He Face Next?
By Jason Liimatta - Oct 21, 2005
James “Lights Out” Toney recently returned to the heavyweight mix winning a twelve round unanimous decision over Dominick “The Southern Disaster” Guinn in dominating fashion. Toney, coming off of a 90 day suspension and $10,000.00 fine imposed by the World Boxing Association beat Guinn up badly throughout the course of the fight, punishing him from both outside and in close. It was an especially easy fight for Toney as Guinn chose to engage him while the fighters were in close quarters. Toney’s stinging combinations both upstairs and down along with his short left hook had Guinn reeling by the end of the fight. He would survive to lose very lopsidedly on all three scorecards. Going into last weeks fight, there was no question whether Toney would win, just questions about who possible future opponents for this stellar heavyweight.
Right now the most probable opponent for Toney, now 69-4-2, 43 KO’s, is IBF heavyweight champion Chris Byrd, 39-2-1, 20 KO’s. Byrd, who prides himself on being the best defensive fighter in the heavyweight division and a decent counter puncher would have to be at the top of his game to stay in a fight with Toney. Toney, like Byrd is an excellent defensive fighter who is very hard to hit cleanly. But, that’s where the similarities end, as Toney is a superb counter puncher, probably the best in the game. And while he may not hit as hard as a Vitali Klitschko or Samuel Peter, Toney still carries a heavyweight punch. Byrd has only scored one knockout in the last 5 years, and that was against an opponent who had already lost nine fights.
And while Toney has only fought sporadically over the last two years due to injuries, Byrd has just been plain inactive. He has fought only 4 times since winning the belt three years ago, and has looked relatively unimpressive in three of them. Last week when he defended his title on the under card of Toney/Guinn against DaVarryl Williamson he looked terrible, and the fight will likely go down in history as one of the worst title defenses in the history of boxing. The result of Toney versus Byrd in my opinion would be Toney via late round TKO as he would break Byrd down for the duration of the fight. The fight would more then likely be held in Michigan as both fighters are native to that state.
Two other fights that aren’t as likely right now for Toney would be WBO champion Lamon Brewster, 33-2, 29 KO’s and WBC champion Vitali Klitschko, 35-2, 34 KO’s. Brewster, who is coming off an impressive defense of his title earlier this month in Germany, would easily be the hardest punching heavyweight Toney has ever faced and also has showed amazing heart since he burst on the scene 1 ½ years ago. And to be honest, being a big fan of both fighters, this is one fight I wouldn’t want to see happen because someone would have to lose. Klitschko, would pose an even bigger problem then Brewster due to the huge height advantage he has over Toney. If Toney failed to get inside on him, the Ukrainian could pick him apart from the outside. Toney in the past has shown an amazing ability to adapt to whichever style of fighter he is facing, and because of this IMO he can defeat anyone in the division.
While fights against Brewster and Klitschko are much appealing then a fight with Byrd, Byrd makes the most sense right now simply because of the logistics. But there is one thing you can bet on, regardless of who Toney faces. He will make it loud and exciting.
Nun gut, langsamer sind sie eben. Aber von Stil her, kann ich mir gut vorstellen, dass sich beide mit Doppeldeckung hinstellen und am Mann arbeiten.D. Crosby schrieb:@ delahoya
In welchem Kampf hatten denn Byrd und Toney einen Vorwärstdrang und Schlagoutput, dass man sie mit Corrales und Castillo vergleichen kann?
