Agreed.

Thought & said the very same thing below. This does all hinge on Toney's weight & conditioning.

Too true!

The thing is this...Toney is not a natural at his fattest...Peter is.

Peter's been coming in a 246 to 250 in his most recent fights. I honestly think that Peter with come in at 255-256 for this fight. Peter's mentality seems to be that the heavier he comes in...the harder he hits.

That may be a working factor for him, but not Toney...as he aint a hard hitter in the 200 lb division. Toney's strengths are his slickness...& honestly, they have suffered with the fatter he has gotten. He looked slow & shitty against Rahman...he better be able to slip a lot more...or else he could get caught & get put out.

Which I would love nothing more.
