toney is gonna win regardless

as soon as toney signed to fight a top 5 heavy he was doomed, it has never looked good for toney against ruiz.

I'm the biggest James Toney fan out there except for maybe Old Gringo or Rockin but I just read an interview with Freddie Roach at **********.net and it really bothered me.

Roach said that Toney needs to lose about 15 more pounds. That's 15 pounds in 11 days!!! I know that he could do that at middleweight and it was actually benificial, but I don't think being 15 pounds overweight at heavyweight a week before the fight is a good sign.

I actually don't know if this is a common thing for fighters to have there trainers say so I would appreciate anyone who disagrees with me to say something.

You're worried for no reason.

Roach has always wanted Toney to come in lighter, and Toney does what he wants. I saw Toney interviewed about it and he said Roach wants him to come in at 216 or somthing like that. Toney said he'll come in at whatever weight he feels comfortable at.

Not to worry my friend. If you like JT, you know he's a pro and a throw back fighter. He knows what's at stake, and he'll be ready to go.

Well put it this way, it's not like he'd be moving and running, ruiz is gonna come to him to try and hug his nutz off. He'll be fine.

Sweet good dill Bo Zo.

Hey fix, you wanna bet ont he fight?

**Exciterx30** · 04-19-2005, 10:43 PM

I think that the weight does not matter. John Ruiz will still find a way to win. You'll see.

**joeboxer** · 04-19-2005, 10:46 PM

I'll bet you too exciter

**GROCERYGETTERS** · 04-19-2005, 10:49 PM

All that extra weight might actually be good against ruiz. Either way, even with all that hugging and wrestle fest, Toney will get pissed that Ruiz is trying to feel him up and see every punch coming and ko Ruiz.

btw. I like ur avatar Bozo no no. thats hillarious. Nady cracks me upwith his comments during a fight.

???????????????????????????????????????????????

What kind of **** was he pulling?

Most people are the complete opposite, they loved him back in the day and now they hate him.
