Toney at 223lbs, as of Dec 30th 2006

if Klitschko couldnt KO peter what makes you guys think that Toney could?

Remember how Klitsko choose to fight him though. He would clinch and was also a little timid of Peters power. Knowing his own history with his chin. He made the choice to attack from the outside.

But he did almost get Peter out of there. He definitely hurt him, he just couldn't finish him.

Tony is gonna land with a lot more punches cause he stands right in front of Peter. I don't know that he can knock Peter out, but he's gonna make him take some punishment.

......The ironic part is that the alleged lower weight may hurt him in this fight. He may not have enough ass to take Peter's punches as well as last time. Until I see the officail weigh in I won't believe that Toney is lighter than in the past.

I don't think he'll have to take Peter's shots at all, at 220 Peter will not be able to get to Toney IMO. He only got Toney once when Toney was at his highest weight, I doubt it'll happen now.

I was thinking the same thing. I remember bowe getting down in the 230's for golota 2 and looking trim but he went down early and wobbled everytime golota touched him. we'll see if it helps or hurts him

Beeing in better shape cant be a bad thing guys! The weight loss will only make him quicker and he can throw more punches because he will be more conditioned. I see it comming, if Peter knocks Toney out some will say it was only because Toney was in better shape!! How hilarious that would be but i see a few dumbasses post that **** and dont give Peter credit, even if he beats an in shape Toney!!

I know everyone says nasty stuff about his weight, it appears he's put some hard work in.
