Toney aiming for 267lbs

[drh]

Just watched an interview on **********.com, and Toney said he was now 270lbs, aiming at 267lbs for fight night. (unfortunately this was a subcription site, unable to post link)

I think he's BS though as he did have the slightest of smirks on his face as he said it.

My feeling is he'll be lighter than last couple, around 228lbs, as he looked slimmer in the face (that's all you could see.)

Best,

DRH

Hopefully thats BS.
If its knock, Toney will get knocked out.

That has to be bull****. Toney was his heaviest ever against Rahman at 230-odd. Surely, not even he could come in around 270. Jesus, Peter will be around 260.

clearly toney is tired of answering weight questions

i watched the interview,he was joking,he did the same thing with the rahman fight he said then he was going to come in at 255.

Well, for the Rahman fight he may have been trying to get to 255 from the looks of it...hehe...hopefully here he is BSing and will be in much, much better shape. Otherwise...it's lights out for him. (Cue Newman laugh...)

If Toney is ****** enough to come in that heavy he deserves to lose. Samuel Peter might not be the fastest Heavyweight out there but we all know he has power. Toney is yet to be hit by a Heavyweight of Peter's build and he could be in trouble. If we take the Wlad Klitschko verus Samuel Peter fight it looks like Peter can take a decent shot. Toney surely won't be able to punch as hard as Wlad K?

I'll stick with my Peter win prediction. 7th - 9th round KO.

There's a reason Peter is the slight betting favorite here. Toney didn't look good vs. Rahman and he's only getting older. Toney can't hurt Peter, so he won't discourage him with the counters, and Peter will keep coming forward trying to bomb him out.

We all know Peter can't box and few, if any, can box better than Toney. However, we also know how judges have been scoring fights lately, and if Peter can come forward for 12 rounds and throw big punches, partially landing and pushing Toney around the ring, he will get the decision almost no matter how many clean counters Toney can land.

I see either a late stoppage win for Peter or a controversial decision based on this pattern we've seen from judges.

while i dont think toney will be that heavey, he's not gonna be slim or in shape either... he'll probably be the same ole toney

I'm hoping he looks at least somewhat better then he did last time around, his balance was horrible. What I really hope is that he's not just sparring this time around, mother****er needs some exercise.
