toney said in a recent interview he was coming in at 228-230 and was at that weight already. either way toney would have to come in looking like a black butterbean at 280 for me to pick against him in this fight
Only for Peters fans cause us Toney fans aren't holding our breath on a big KO from Toney :p then again, crazier things have happened in boxing.. but it would be a long shot to say the least
ya, I guess if i want a KO, the only guy i could root for would have to be Peters.
Toney is by no means capable of putting Sam's "Lights Out"
Ill take that over a hugfest.
But damn, it would be nice to see a crazy KO.

i'd put my house on the fact that it won't be a hugfest.. i think it'll be a 'phonebooth' fight with a lot of inside action with Peter being the aggressor and Toney looking to counter

Hope its a good one and not a hugfest.

Still waiting on that weigh-in
I predict Toney 229
Peter 259
Toney 229 LOL ,your a very funny man :D !
Toney will weigh more then Peter, Toney 247 , vs. Peter 245 !
witch heavy weight is rated higher ?
welcome to the forum.
i dont know how much u know, so excuse me if u know what im saying-
in james toneys last fight, he came in way out of shape, packing as much weight as possible onto his 5'9 past-middleweight frame and got a draw with at-the-time titleholder hasim rahman. most ppl have him pretty high in the rankings (easy top 10, possibly top 5)based on his pure defensive skill.
peter is a big, strong, fighter who also can have weight trouble, but it isnt as bad as toneys. his most known fight was against wlad k. and lost, even though he knocked wlad down 3 times. since then he has had 1 fight, and looked pretty good. he is top 10, but no way top 5.
this fight is purely skill vs power
Still waiting on that weigh-in
I predict Toney 229
Peter 259
whoa.. i would've thought you were joking until i noticed the Toney avatar.. asking that low is bold.. i highly doubt Toney comes near 230.. that coming from a Toney fan ;)
Yeah, figures. Still, no word on their weight yet?
nothing yet.. you should never expect boxing weigh-in's to be on time :D
either that, or that news travels rather slower for weigh-ins than fights themselves
Heavy's are always Thursday.
Becuase the weight's unlimited, they're not cutting weight like smaller classes, and it doesn't matter how much they gain between the weigh in and the time of the fight.
I haven't seen a betting line on Toney's weight yet. I wonder what the over under is. I'm waiting to see how much Toney and Peter weight before I start betting on this fight.
If Toney comes in at 225lbs +-2 pounds then I'll probably put some real money on Toney to win. Peter comes in at 255lbs or more I'll also put a bet (smaller one) on Toney to win by TKO/KO.
no, but toney at 240 would still school peter. if toney comes in at 270 peter will have a chance
IF toney comes in at 240...
NO way he comes in at 240 lol..
