James Toney says he weighs 209 pounds...BUT...is he lying?

[Kris Silver]

Has he lost a limb?

Diabolical Liberty!!... Why sanction it??... Tell em both to *** Right Off....

Toney is pushing 41 and over weight by alot not just a little bit but alot...The man should be between 185-200 range. If he comes to fight at HW he should be at the 210-220 range not the 230-240 range....he makes me laugh because all that said he still can compete with these guys. The HW division aside from the Klitty's is a joke...Arreola is going to eat jabs and right hands all night much like what Vitali did to peter he is going to do to Arreola except this time he will KO Arreola....Toney is no comp for the Klitt's but he can pretty much beat any HW in the game right now. He just needs to be in shape and fight guys who are on the smaller sid eof the HW coin. No 7 footers or guys like Tye Fields....Lefty

In a recent interview, James Toney stated about his weight:



Toney: I left the gym today at 209.

Then his manager quickly steps in to make sure that when James doesn't weigh 209 at the weigh in...

"James don't mind talking about his weight," Arthur said. "But I have to tell you that he may surprise everyone when he steps on the scale for this fight. He may weigh 209 right now but he may weight 215 tomorrow. He's a heavyweight, and even if he weighs in at 230 it's no problem. I don't want him dropping a whole lot of weight and weakening himself. He will surprise people when he weighs in for the fight, put it that way."

Thoughts as to what he may really weigh at the weigh in?

yeah right, i'll believe it when I see it

Sam Peters?

Hasim Rahman?

John Ruiz?

Danny Williams and Rogan would probably give him a close fight.

Haye would probably be favoured over him.

I don't see how that leaves him beating most HW's apart from the Klit's.

I heard he has a six pack now.

Probably more of a keg. Sorry, you had to have known you were setting this up.

He's waiting until now to lose weight? This is BS, Toney weighs in at 230, although when you opponent's last fight was a loss to Brian Minto, Toney doesn't have much to worry about.

[ironjab]

perhaps hes on the clen and the gh lol

Honestly, Toney should seriously consider attempting to get down to Light Heavy. He would be much more competitive and would have a better opportunity at making a good chunk of retirement money since I am sure that is why he is still fighting. Not to mention he would probably get better young ass at the club and that is not such a bad thing either.
