BoxingScene Staff Predictions: James Toney vs. Samuel Peter

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Can a man who won his first title in 1991, at the middleweight limit of 160 pounds, beat a man regarded as the hardest puncher in the heavyweight division? On paper it doesnt seem likely, but 38-year-old James Toney (69-4-2, 43 KOs) defies the odds every single time he enters the ring for a heavyweight bout.

When he enters the ring at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, 25-year-old Samuel Peter(26-1, 22 KOs) will be standing across the ring. Unlike Toney's prior heavyweight opponents, Peter is a young fighter with limited boxing skills, but possesses an abundance of punching power.

Toney is not getting any younger, and we are not sure if Peter has corrected any of the cracks in his armor that were evident in his 2005 meeting with Wladimir Klitschko in Atlantic City. Both fighters have experienced conditioning problems in recent fights. It would not be out of the ordinary to see both of them punched out at various points in the fight. [details]

Interesting.

It seems my pick of Peter by Split Decision is a scarce opinion to say the least... now I feel unique.

Your thinking outside the box though.

Seems to me most are thinking it's either Toney dec or Peter KO.

Boxing's always so unexpected you can't help but wonder if something crazy could happen.

Like a DQ, draw, Toney KO or Peter Dec.

Something inside all those picks has to be right.

toney won't last more than 4rounds coz he's not a natural heavyweight,peter is big and very strong.who want to bet with his life?Peter ko toney latest in 6 round

Your staff cant even rank a proper HW class so like I really should pay attention to your staff's predictions.
