[DamonJJ]

u are right, i should of never threw bhop in with those guys on making money..... he obviosuly isn't about just signing a contract, yeah im talking to u Shane!!

There you go. Mosley, RJJ, Holyfield...soon to be Pac and Floyd in 5 years or so.

It's funny, Tyson actually retired and stayed retired and he had some money issues. Who'd of thought he'd be the most reasonable of the group?

Could also be that Toney is easier to hit now than he was almost a decade ago and so it felt faster to him. Agree generally though that Lebedev is a solid. He's not the first dude who was able to get some names bought for his record on the way up. He showed game against Huck.

Im not impressed by Lebedev but he deserves credit. He took the fight to Toney and won decisively. If that was the Toney from the Jirov fight I don't think he would have been competitive, but that has no bearing on today.

Im curious how others think a Lebedev-Jirov fight would go? I was a huge fan of Vasilly and sat ringside for his war with Toney. How would that version of Jirov and today's Lebedev play out?

You uys must not have watched the fight. Toney hurt his knee in the second round and could barely movd forward he was moving side to side and back not forward...there was an instance in the 7-8th round toney just kept countering that mutha****a....he lost....but he lost courageously. He could fight again if he heals.

Lebedev dominated every second of every round.

ayone with brain cells could see that toney injured his leg in the 2nd round.........

Do you really think it mattered?

Tarver vs lebedev is a great fight! i hope it happens! Tarver still is kinda fresh despite that he is 42 years old! Lebedev is very beatable and i would pick tarver by knockout! round 8

Your very blind when it comes to boxing.

yeah lebedev is a fine boxer with solid power but i feel if tarver can land his own left hand on lebedevs chin that he will hurt him badly!
James kept bending into lebedevs left hand! tarver is bigger than lebedev and can fight tall! he will show him things he never has seen before!
Lebedev lacks killer instinct IMO

Tarver gets hit more than Toney because he's straight up. Lebedev does well with boxers.

At 42, Lebedev probably appears faster to Toney than what he would have 10 years ago.

I thought Lebedev executed a solid if unexciting gameplan (no doubt laid down by his trainer Tszyu) which took full advantage of Toney's weakened reflexes, speed and especially balance by timing him with multiple left hands every time Toney slowly bent down to avoid the punch.

He didn't go for power, just to score points and throw Toney off balance. He mixed up well with his left hand to the head and body and showed a decent jab. His footwork was better too although this may have been highlighted by Toney's poor, unbalanced footwork.

Lebedev is faster than Jirov.

He already fought Huck and had to chase the tough guy around the whole fight. Huck got a hometown decision
