Check out this slimmed down James Toney!!

[Fenster]

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.

IF and thats IF Toney has lost that weight in a very short time frame however, that will affect him negatively. He will be weak as shit. But from what I hear thats not been the case but no way of knowing for sure I suppose.

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.

Good point, never thought of that.

Looking at the odds I can't believe Toney is a 6/1 shot. I'd rather chance your theory at 6/1 than bet 10/11 Lebedev KO's him.

Its definitely worth a go, 6/1 is a really good risk/reward in this case I think.

That really is a cracking price on Toney. The bookies are really counting Toney out, but considering that Toney has been half arsed at HW in recent years, I am sure they are not factoring in a motivated and in shape James Toney.

He's going to suprise a few IMO.
