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!

First thing I thought when I saw this vid..and I hope it doesn't go that way. Toney is just a different breed. He was born for this so hopefully the weight loss doesn't hamper him..heck, it can't hamper him anymore than the fat did!

It can either go the way Fenster thought or he's gonna look awesome!! Definitely up for a Hopkins/Toney encounter. Would be mouth-watering but those who aren't big fans of skills and wit being displayed should look away now.

Why do people keep bringing up Chris Byrd into into this? He had to lose muscle unlike Toney who lost fat gradually.. Losing fat and muscles are different, plain and simple.

And Toney aint got an ordinary chin like byrd either.. Lebedev gonna knock out Toney huh.. lol smh

Whether it's in the real world or inside the boxing ring, this shit is about CREDIT... You look at Toney's history and tell me Lebedev is gonna knock him out.. smh

On top of that, Chris Byrd couldnt punch a hole through a wet paper towel so his opponents never had to worry much about incoming punches. They were able to put alot more into their offense because of of their opponent's inability to punch.

That's how George knocked him out.. He never had to worry about Byrd's power so he attacked with that much more authority..

Lebedev doesnt even have that kind of luxury. Everytime he misses, he's going to pay and that'll make him think twice before throwing..

I dunno when people say "Look, muscle isn't the same as losing fat" - Although this is true, look at the toll it took on Fatton?

Sure, he did it more often than Toney where as he was content just being a fat heavyweight all the time but still..we don't know how quickly he lost the weight or what methods he has been using. If he's drained himself, he's fucked.

The Hatton comparison doesnt work. Hatton was ripped at the weight, Toney sure as fuck wont be. Sure he wont be a fat slob now but ripped he certainly aint. This is a guy who used to fight at 160 remember.
