This was uploaded yesterday,from his Russia tour to hype up the Lebedev fight.
Although he kept the T shirt on, you can clearly see that he cut a lot of body fat (the big belly is gone) and added muscles, I'm excited for the fight now :boxing:
Haha @ the imbeciles on here dismissing hard work with the ''roids comments''
His arms appear bigger because he has lost weight making them more defined, he'd also just trained them so they are pumped.
Obviously worried after seeing Toney in decent nick & thinking ''sh1t he's taken this seriously & is going to spank Lebedev''
Just lol @ you lot throwing accusations of steroid use about with no proof.
Lebedev better be prepared, this is no washed up Roy Jones here.
LIGHTS OUT BABYYY!
Toney looks in good shape hopefully it isnt roids... but with that said other then Randy Coture in a Octagon... Who has beaten Toney up to make yall think he's a tottall bum, is it his age... lol Hopkins!!! or the fact he got his ass whooped in the octagon... i think its the octagon option because after that... alot of people wrote him off... cant be the stutter or punch drunk talken, he been like that before Sam Peter.... Toney UDS Lebedev easily....
No where near his best, but trimming down's enough to make it somewhat more competitve.
Jirov outworked him and got worked himself, lol.
James ain't near what he use to be. But Lebedev isn't near what Jirov was either.
He was a bit flabby but under 200lbs against Jirov, and we all know what happened there. Toney is definitely in his best shape since that night years ago; he's going to shock a lot of people with his performance.
Steroids Steroids Steroids Steroids Steroids
I'll be using Steroids to get back on shape.
Steroids make my arms look big.
Look at my boobs and belly.
Steroids make them look hard.
Steroids you gotta use it.

If a shot to tears Roy Jones can get into the final round I don't see why Toney shouldn't... it's a bit since James was in the ring and he is not the youngest anymore... but if he has reflexes and chin left and isn't gun shy... he even way past his prime is still a fighter that beats 90% of his weight class (cruiserweight)...
One of the best fighters of his time
For a guy with low testosterone he's managed to get himself into good shape and his tits look perkier then ever.
Even if he's on all the gear in the world, he's well past his best days so it will be short-lived however well he does
Definitely has lost weight. But hasn't lost any years.
Rooting for him.
Exactly.
People are confusing the kind of shape he is in with the fact that he is still slower and his reflexes have dulled due to age.
If Lebedev is half good he should beat Toney.
He's looking better than when he fought, or rather embarassed himself, in that fight with Randy Couture but still he's fighting above his weight class in my opinion.
James Toney hasn't been in the shape of his life for 15 years or so.
The last time I can be sure he was 100% of the best shape he could be in was McCallum I.
looks like roid using again to be honest
Arms aren't quite as big but hard not to doubt a two-time loser.
Lebedev may not be the most skilled and technical fighter but he's young, hungry and is always in decent shape. Toney can counter, shoulder roll and do all of his other tricks but Lededev will outwork him and get the decision. Toney hasn't looked good in years, I don't know how anyone could pick him to win this fight....
I'll willing to give 3-1 odds if you're interested...
As to the vid, Toney looks in decent shape but his biceps look enormous. Looks like he's been hitting the weights, hard....
Agree mostly and like Lebedev but I think Roy, by just hanging a while, showed how limited Lebedev can be. If this was 2003, Toney in a laugh. Now? Toney better have a lot more left than folks would assume.
Toney is going to expose Lebedev and break him down. An in shape Toney is a dangerous proposition for any fighter at cruiserweight. And though Lebedev is tough, he is a bit crude and telegraph's his punches. Toney will counter him all night to the head and body, mark my words.
If he can still go, maybe. It's been a long time since Toney was world class against anyone and he's well past 40 now. It's been eight years since Jirov.

Umm, I don't think you can pick fights off weigh ins or pictures but.. A healthy Toney stands a decent chance to upset a Lebedev right? I would think not many people have faced non fat Toney's level of skill or counterpunching..
His weight is down, I mean clearly down I saw him in person he handed trophies out at our show and one of his amateurs fought on the card as well, he almost got his fighter DQd as Toney went off on the referee.
Anyhow if he can still pull the trigger he wins this fight, I thought Jones did very well until the last couple rounds
