Re: Byrd Vs Klitschko II

I doubt this will happen..***mor is Toney will face Vlad in Sept.

wow the size difference there will be amazing, but Toney always finds a way to land. He doesnt have a ton of power, but he will find and time shots against Wlad's chin. So we'll see what hes made of.

that would be a great fight to watch.

Re: Byrd Vs Klitschko II

Byrd said that his gameplan was pretty much screwed up from the start... That said, he was tailor made for Klitschko... Kept his head right in front of Vlad, and he obliged by shooting straight shots down the pipe... He couldn't give him anything to think about... The thing with Vlad is, I remember when Vitali was the bum and Vlad was the star... Then he got destroyed by Corrie freaking Sanders... His chin is still suspect to me... I would think that if Rahman can connect, he can drop Vlad in the same fashion.

Re: Byrd Vs Klitschko II

I don't think Wlad will ever fight Rahman because I believe Rahman is going to lose his next fight against Oleg. Though I don't think he will be in Lampley's lap this time. I amazed the respect Rahman gets. Sans hitting the lottery against Lennox, he is nothing more than a decent fighter. He is 3-5-2 vs elite opposition, got his title chance by beating 5 club fighters, and then was handed the belt. I think his power is grossly overrated and his chin is suspect. He really can't move and doesn't possess a lot of speed. I see Rahman-Lewis II (revisited) if Wlad and Rahman fight.

Toney should do everything in his power to avoid Wlad. If he fights Wlad, it will simply be for the money as Wlad is a ridiculous money maker for other fighters. Toney has no chance simply because he is too small and has no power at the heavyweight level. Wlad can simply stay on the outside and jab and point him to death. He hits harder and is more talented than Rahman, so he could follow up the jabs with rights and most likely will finish Toney before they go to the cards.

Another possible mention is Calvin Brock. I don't think Calvin is ready for such a huge step up, but I also think Brock is going to have a ridiculously tough fight on his hands with Ibragimov (Timor, not Sultan). That will be a street fight.

Re: Byrd Vs Klitschko II

Calvin gets a lot of run here in the Carolinas, and I'd be very interested to see him fight Wlad when he's ready... It could be a very compelling fight.

Very true about The Rock...he couldn't even beat Ruiz when he got another title shot...that being said, neither could the other heavyweights, but still, he only has one victory in title fights (against Lewis) if I'm correct and did that with pretty much a lucky shot, otherwise he has done nothing...
