Too little, too late for James.
He should've been focusing more on getting his conditioning in check and less on wolfing down Burger King years ago.
He's gonna wind up half-retarded, and that actually kinda makes me sad.
No rational boxing pundit would pick Toney over Lebedev at this point in his career. I like James Toney and have followed him off and on for the last decade but he's so far past his peak and I'd be surprised if he was even somewhat competitive in this fight...
Lebedev is a solid ass fighter, no a world beater, but a good fighter, who has decent endurance and power. There's no way he let's himself get outworked by James...
James hasn't come in under 200lbs since the Jirov fight, and he'll be fighting a cruiserweight after 8 years of heavyweight bouts. If he's actually in shape , I think some people are going to be really surprised.

I just lot a ton betting on Zavec! Oh well. PM me when the fights close!
Will do :fing02:
Yo larry where you hiding, you wanted to bet, now come take the bets :boxing:
I agree he's really punch drunk, and probably should not be fighting, but I still feel his style, experience and the tricks Toney always has up his sleeve he can make it rough for Lebedev, that is all. I never said he would beat him, doesn't mean he won't make it rough for him.
are people forgetting that Toney got gift decisions against Fres Oquendo and journeyman Danny Betchelder, who has lost 6 out of his last 6 fights(well, except for his win over Toney)? And that was a Toney that was on steroids.
damn people. damn.
It's very sad when you read people saying Toney or Evander can beat any heavyweight alive, when the truth is Toney got beat by Sam Peter twice and has never been the same since, and Evander got beat easily by Sultan Ibragimov.
Toney got robbed against Peter in the first fight.
I agree, hes irrelevent at HW. But if he gets in shape and fights at Cruiser, he could do something.
Hahaha I like the new patriotic Larry. I hope Toney wins too. I dont see him getting a decision in Russia though. Otherwise I would maybe have a punt on him as well.
Toney will make it rough, awkward and very difficult for Lebedev. Toney will be forced to come in decent shape if the fight is at cruiserweight. I'll take Lebedev by close decision. It wont be easy though.
