Check out this slimmed down James Toney!!

I don't see a replay of Byrd really but like Byrd...you can drop the lbs but you can't drop the years. That and physically he can be right but that doesn't mean he's trimmed the sloth in his head that let him get in that condition in the first place and waddle around the ring running on fumes.

Alot of this will come down to Lebedevs mentality and looking past that infamous Toney mystique. He needs to set the tone from jump off and treat Toney like the faded fat man we've all seen over last number of years.

I don't think it will look like Chris Byrd either. Byrd lost a load of weight, but a lot of that was muscle. With Toney all you have is a fat man losing fat. Rather than hinder him, it will simply mean he is closer to his proper fighting weight and won't be so out of shape. His movement will be much better for a start and his punches will pack more weight as Toney really was small compared to the HW's. It's remarkable how easily he was able to handle HW and testament to his talents. Age is my only worry with this one, but I don't think Lebedev is all that and Toney likes men who come at him. In recent fights Toney has had much bigger men dancing all around him, in this fight he has an equally sized man coming at him. Toney should really make him look a little bit silly.

It's an interesting fight. I wouldn't be shocked by Lebedev brutally ending Toney's career or Toney giving Lebedev a boxing lesson. I'm leaning toward Lebedev knocking Toney out but not by much.
