    I completely forgot about this fight.

    If Rahman is in any type of shape, then he wins. Toney is shot.

    Indeed, I'll be rooting for James but I fear he's a shadow of his former self. His fight with Bachelder was just awful.

    Thing is Rahman has looked dreadful in recent fights as well.

    I imagine we could see a combined 600 lbs in the ring plodding and wheezing their way to the final bell

    Toney at his best, in fact even three years ago was awesome, now he should retire.

    But I'll be rooting for him for sure, the JFAT Alliance never dies.

    You can't root against Toney. He has been one of my favourite fighters for many a year now and its been depressing with all the bans and positive drug tests and the recent performances. Im not overtly hopeful but I want him to be in the best shape possible and just go out there and put on a good show. Rahman has been crap recently and is there for the taking by my reckoning. A win here and maybe a follow up and Toney is back in line for a belt. And then maybe he can retire with his quest fulfilled. I wouldnt say Toney is shot yet. He really hasnt been in any condition for recent fights. A prepared and ready to go Toney might not be so shot.

    With less than one week to go before their July 16 rematch billed as "Last Chance" heavyweights James "Lights Out" Toney (70-6-3, 43 KOs) and Hasim "Rock" Rahman (45-6-3, 36 KOs) checked in with updates from their respective training camps. Both normally loquacious fighters were uncharacteristically low-key, indicative of just how serious they are about this fight. The 35-year old Rahman is training at the Gene Lewis Boxing Gym in steamy Mesa, AZ. "I know this is my last chance to remain in title contention,” Rahman conceded. "I just don't want a 'W,' I'd like it to be spectacular....I'll be ready for him." Plans call for Rahman to break his six-week camp on Sunday and head to Pechanga, three days prior to the fight. Toney, 39, has been training at the 360 Gym in Reseda, Calif. He has refused to take his usual profanity-laced shots at his opponent. "I'm not going to run my mouth," Toney insisted. "Just watch me in the ring. That is the only thing I will say to you."

    I didn't know he was at Gene Lewis that place is an amazing gym it's absolutely huge, they have amateur boxing and MMA there almost every week. As a matter of fact that's the first place I ever saw live boxing.
    That gym is 2 miles from my house!!
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    Both Toney and Rahman look to be in very good shape...actually this is the best (least fat) I've seen Toney look at Heavyweight...with that said, I hope its a good thing....I'll take Toney because he is just flat out a better fighter, easy UD.

    Rahman ready to rock Toney!
    Friday, July 11 2008
    Hasim Rahman, training in Phoenix, has sparred over 150 rounds while getting ready to tangle with James Toney on Wednesday, July 16 at the Pechanga Resort & Casino. "The Rock is training at a high level," said chief trainer Marshall Kauffman. "He's sparred 12 rounds in a single day a number of times. I like his work rate and I am convinced he will beat Toney next week." It's an important fight, titled 'Last Chance.' "We win, we move on to much bigger fights," Kauffman said. Rahman plans to be Los Angeles on Sunday eve to get ready for fight week activities.

    Rahmans trainer is bragging that hisfighter is sparring up to 12 rounds a few times

    That is nothing! Really! Alot of fighters do their runs aqnd then just spar, anything up to 20 to 30 rounds in a day, obviously not all the rounds are very competetive.

    I am amazed by some fighters training regimes, I read Tszyu only sparred something like 4 rounds a day!

    I know Mike Tyson used to spar 15 fast paced rounds a day, thats the only way to stay sharp.

    Toney also likes his sparring, if he has lost weight, under 220lbs then I see him winning.
