looks good!
What happened to the rest of him?
Did he get AIDS?
As long as hes cut weight in a fairly sensible fashion and not done anything stupid like crash dieting, this weight loss can only benefit him.
McGirt is fatter than Toney now ! ;D
Good to see those two workin together.
WOW!! i did not expect that at all, he looks to be in great shape.
Old mongoose toney is gonna beat lebedev's sorry ass.
Wow! I'm interested to see him fight now
Like him or loath him James Toney's move from MW to HW and being competitive is amazing.
He is a GREAT fighter for sure.
What a story it wotld be if he went back to middleweight and won a titleQuote:

Apparently Toney is the big underdog in this one and appearances can always be deceptive, but if Toney is anything as good as we have known him to be I can very well see him stopping Lebedev.
I actually had a dream last night where Toney was clobbering someone in the early rounds, so hopefully this is a sign that I have become psychic.
I am very excited about this fight and there appears to be a decent card too. It's looking like an opportunity for me to watch boxing AND drink! That doesn't happen very often. I hope Toney will be able to match my evening posting form.
When has anyone lost that much weight and not been a complete shell on fight night?
A serious look at Toney to get sparked is in order....
Normally I would agree with you but this is pure fat loss here. Its not like a scenario like Roy when he moved back down from heavy to light heavy or something. Losing a shitload of fat off your frame can only be a good thing. Its not like hes gona be ripped at 200lbs, just a more healthy weight instead of a tub of goo.Quote:

Are there any comparisons that can be made as to when other fighters have done this? I cant recall any shedding a shitload of fat to gauge it.
Who Knows? Im not getting all nostalgic hoping for something that might result in Fensters way of thinking.. The Toney that beat Holyfield was tremendous. This guy could pull a chris Byrd and get mopped. Good on Toney for deciding to treat his body right other than that i will be CAUTIOUSLY optimistic.
If he looks good, somehow a Toney vs Hopkins is an absolute must. Even if the fight was predicted to stink to the high heavens. It will sell great and Im watching!
