Comments Thread For: Weights: James Toney 199, Denis Lebedev 197.5

Toney is far past his prime, fighting on foreign soil, had to drop alot of weight and had not had a meaningful win in years. I am confused why everyone seems to be sure he is going to win this?

The power of nostalgia and delusion is strong...Toney is going to get whacked.

Let's do it Larry.

I see this as a win-win. I'll gladly pay if Toney wins........ and then i hope he announces his retirement.

keep dreaming

if you're right, you're going to run your mouth a lot tomorrow, saying told you so, told you so, but it works both ways : if you're wrong, you'll be nowhere to be seen tomorrow

I won't be wrong, but I'll be here either way. If Toney wins, it's one of the most improbable wins of all time, so I'll congratulate him.

And even if he does win, he still needs to retire for his own health's sake.

The only way I see Lebedev winning is via a hometown robbery, he is not stopping Toney.

Nobody ever has & if a prime H/W Sam Peter couldn't stop a grotesquely out of shape, unmotivated Toney then Lebedev sure as hell isn't stopping a highly motivated, in-shape James

LIGHTS OUT!!!

Now thats what im talking about lol!!! WAR Toney ive been waiting for hime to start cutting and fights guys closer to his true size lets just hope he still got it in him

[Alx.]

that's a lot of weight

I haven't heard anything officially, but I doubt he stays at cruiserweight. He's fighting a bum so it could be one of those 'fuck it, I'm not going to worry about making weight for this guy' situations and when he gets a good opponent lined up at 175 I'm sure he'll be right there.

if he gets to 175 i'd be very proud of him. not sure if he can do it even with total discipline, but i would love to see him show that kind of resolve.


that would be a serious turnaround

close to 100 lbs

he was 257 against his last opponent

Given Toney's past I sincerely hope he cut weight legitimately. I also see Toney outboxing Denis and getting robbed.
