      am i the only one here that feels james toney's handspeed is somewhat underrated?

      or is it more his great counter punching ability that made his hands look faster?

            i have done it in a short space of time about 6 months all in all
            Oh, well its seems like you have a small frame anyway so the weight shouldn't be a problem for you. You seem like a naturally smaller guy. I am 164 now so i can make middleweight. I loss 26 LBs becuase i stopped taking the protien and working out becuase i had to concentrate on other things for about a year. I am skinny and my uncle keeps telling to get my weight back up, which i might do since its the summer and all.

                yeah thats it i was a blown up 168lbs i looked like i was about 182lbs because im only 5ft 6/7 but that was muscle mass and i have stopped weight training now ,i have retained my speed because i have muscle definition but not outrageously like someone like Robin Reid ,Frank Bruno i think when u have to much of that kinda muscle it really does restirict your movement and slow u down not to mention stamina issues

                i think Muscle indurence is the key TBH swimming etc

                  He looked so sluggish and second-rate against Roy Jones which is probably why people don't really rate his handspeed.

                  But he is fast, a little underrated I would say.


                  Watch for 4:25 when Toney fights off the ropes against Barkley.

                      well he was struggling with his weight.

                      besides.....who's speed doesn't seem 2nd rate against jones? lol

                      maybe his time at cruiser and heavy made his hands seem faster to me compared to the slow guys at cruiser and heavy......
