I really don't think Peter improves so much as it was Toney not fighting as well as in the first fight.Toney showed his age more than Peter showed a huge improvement.Like I said before the fight Peter had the confidence knowing Toney couldn't hurt him and pressured him more this time.After Toney hit him with his best shots and Peter didn't budge that had a big effect on Tony's mindset from then on.
Your just saying that because Peter already almost KTFO Wlad before he had made any improvements.... Bet your sweating the possibility of that rematch huh.Quote:

JT has a respectable following here, by respectable posters.
Were all here. And we aint..... Goin No where... We aint... Going no-where, cause were JfaT for life 8)
Anybody know of a link with the full fight on??
Why would I be sweating?Just because Peter beat Toney has nothing to due with him being any better than he was when he fought Wladimir the first time.Styles make fights and Toney has nothing in common with Wladimir.Quote:

Even got KTFO out by such luminaries as Brewster, Purrity and an over-the-hill Sanders. ;D On the other hand, a 38 year old, 'blown up middleweight' has mixed it up with one of the biggest power punchers of the H.W. division. Perhaps age caught up with Toney, Perhaps Peter really improved, possibly a combination of those factors proved to be too much for Toney. But here is the rub:Quote:

I can be ever confident that Toney is a walk in to the Boxing Hall of Fame. I can also brag that I've seen one of the craftiest fighters in history fight the good fight with his will, determination and god given skills. Toney won't be remembered for his mouth or personality. Everything you have to know about Toney can be witnessed by his outstanding record and ring grit. Conversely, Wlad is best remembered and utterly marred by his dreadful failings...his lackluster and questionable heart...his undying commitment to bring all of his severe psychic frailties into the ring with him.
I'm in full agreement...Wlad is the best H.W. out there. But since I'm not much of a fan, I won't have to sweat through every fight he has with someone that can throw a decent punch.
I won't be manically biting my fingertips off before, during and after (if it gets that far) every round. I'll simply sit and wait...just don't think I'll have to wait for a long time.
Damn!!!!!!! I LOVE THE SWEET SCIENCE How bout you?
When James Toney came to fight, he was very enjoyable to watch. I'll always remember the slick son of a b!tch in his better fights. I love how he rolled out of punches to set up the big blows. Man he was slick.
Hopefully he realizes it is time to walk away. If i was confident that he had enough left to make an impact i'd tell him to go for it but i think it's best that he walks away.
Almost only works in horseshoe. What makes you think he'd get that same opportunity again?Quote:

All the talk about how he used to be a middle etc is irrelevant.
If you want to fight at heavy,thats your choice. He lost badly,that is to say not just by a large margin,but in the manner in which he lost.
Heavier,slower,and then ungracious to the end. HE has had 4, count em FOUR,chances to do something at heavy. Ruiz NC rahman draw,and peter twice. HE showed in this fight that he did not deserve the rematch because he does not take his opportunities seriously. I am pissed off at Toney. When I saw the weigh in picks I was F#ckin choked! I did a sarcastic re write of the associated press release of the weigh-in,but someone dissed the post so I didn't follow it up.
I don't care if he ever fights again. $1.1 million and he can't get "UP" for the fight? what a enormous prick! IF he gets down to cruiser below 190 THEN MAYBE I'll watch him fight. Otherwise he can p1ss off!
He needs to take a cue from Byrd. You can't disrespect the boxing fans by coming to a championship fight looking like this.
To me, what makes a Peter/Wlad rematch so compelling are the improvements BOTH fighters have made since their 1st fight. I agree with P4PKing - If I were a Klitchko ball-washer, I'd be pretty nervous. Bring on the sadclicks :)
I'm a Toney fan. And I'll tell ya what happened, his fukin gluttoney finally caught up to him, that and his 38 years, but mostly his gluttoney. Thousands of sit-ups? Really James, who the fuk are you kiddin? The lazy fatty, legitamately lost last night, no doubt, he can say what he wants, but he just didn't throw enuff punches. He won the first fight, but not this one. Peter made some adjustments, still can't really throw a decent punch, but he's got a great chin and power. I pray he can rematch Klitschko and KO him, after he beats Oleg. Toney blew it. Anyway, he's had a hell of a career, and I'll always be a fan, but damnit if he isn't a lazy fat ass.
