i know toney is a real active fighter but he is getting older, and this fight is within 3 months of the ruiz fight, if toney is gonan come in lighter will he have enough time to do it without being effected by weight lose in that amount of time?
The more active Toney is the better because when takes the big lay-offs he eats everything up and becomes a fat ass.
No doubt, he needs to fight every 2 months so that he doesn't spend so much time at the buffet line....with his defense, he rarely gets cut or swollen, so fighting often won't be a factor with his facial health....plus, think about it....if he was on TV every 2 months, and won every time out, it would create a huge buzz and the People (namely us) would proclaim him the People's Champ and Vitali would fade into the sunset
Toney heard that Ruiz came out of retirement and wants mandatory rematch, so he chose to take the Byrd fight right away to avoid Ruiz. But at least he wasn't a coward like Roy Jones who dropped the belt and ran!
But there's no running from Ruiz.
:) that was your funniest post yet
I agree. and besides, it's not like the ruiz fight was so gruelling that it took something out of him. he should be able to continue without missing a step
Toney came out of the Ruiz fight without a scratch, at the pace that Toney fights at, he could fight every 5-6 weeks without missing a beat, I think a quick fight would be good for him, becuase he'll go right back to the gym and come into his fight in July closer to 225 lbs

Toney is a pro, he knows what he is doing, he also knows that age is a factor so he will look to be real active and get what he can get while he can get it.
