    If anything... it isn't!

    Dropping 57lbs at 43... will most likely mean you are not in shape to box for 12 rounds.

      How much weight has Toney lost? Like 30 Lbs?

      He's lost an unbelievable amount of weight. I wouldn't be suprised if he was weak come fight night.

      I'm rooting for Toney to pull it off though and I think there's very minimal chance he wins.

      But, he will lose, by wide UD. IMO.

        Hmm well it depends how fast you lose the weight and what kind of weight you're shedding.. like when Roy went back down to light heavyweight after heavy.. he lost 20lbs of muscle.. James looks like its probably 50lbs+ fat and maybe a little muscle

              He's smaller all the way around, and trust me when I say this... I hope I'm wrong.

              The skills are there to make Lebedev look silly... but I don't believe the stamina and reflexes are.

              I think Toney can win... but the dramatic weight loss of over 50 lbs has a lot of questions left to be answered.. especially at his age.

                His last fight was the end of last year... and he came in at a staggering 257lbs..

                Lets not even get into the fact it'll be an entire year since he's last fought... at 43 years old.

                      It doesn't appear that he lost 50 some odd pounds all at once during this camp, it seems he's been dropping weight for sometime and probably entered camp much less than the 257 he weighed in his last fight...
