Toney: I'll KO Hopkins

[Fenster]

Hows Toney gonna make 185?

I'd like to see this fight just to hear the shit-talk beforehand.

[No Contest]

That means he has to lose 45 additional pounds. That would be a miracle. He would look like Chris Byrd I bet trying to come back down....you would think he would try cruiserweight first...

Yeah Just look how bad Jones looked when he dropped back from heavy too. The weight loss should be left to young men and even then they need to be very careful what they are doing!

[Gandalf]

Toney is done.

There I actually said it. I had hoped Toney would try and get active following the Oquendo showing and try and get back in the mix at HW and fast. He obviously has no desire for it. What on earth happened to fighting Thompson or even giving Oquendo a rematch if there was nothing else on?

But to talk about going down to 185 pounds at 40 to fight Hopkins is just crazy talk. Toney can't even get down to 225 pounds despite repeated promises that he would "be in shape this time". Toney and 185 pounds is nuts at this late stage.

Why not just get a fight at HW and just get into relatively decent shape for that for once? Makes me think Toney is all but done with nowhere to go.

[SweetPea]

This is just Toney running his mouth. I doubt he could even get down to 215, let alone 185.

The pre-fight banter would be "LEGEN...wait for it, hope you're not lactose intoletrant cause the second part of that word is...DARY!"

If Toney somehow found a way to make 185 the fight would be cancelled because Toney would pass out during the weigh in...

[SweetPea]

Also, as bad as Toney looked against Oquendo, I'd pick Hopkins to beat him even if the fight were at heavyweight and Toney weighed 225 or 230.

He was cruiserweight champion before after beating Jirov. But I think he'd have to lose more than 45 pounds. He walks around now at about 250. I really don't think it would be possible at his age to get to 185. He's just trying to drum up word of mouth as his career winds down. Probably next he'll want a rematch with Jones.

[JT Rock]

Its crazy that we are dogging a 1st ballot hall of famer who is a natural 168 pounder who fighting 75 pounds over that but has made a decent accounting of himself the past 5 years

[Kirkland Laing]

I've got nothing but respect for Toney, his accomplishments in the ring, his fighting ability and his mouth outside the ring. And so I'm not going to say anything about his weight. I know he's possibly a few pounds over his ideal fighting weight but he's 40 bless him. I hope he has a long, healthy and happy retirement eventually. Does anybody know how he's fixed? Does he have 10000 kids and alimony debts like Holyfield?

[El Kabong]

I don't know about wishing him good health, I think it's a forgone conclusion he'll have type 2 diabetes if he doesn't already have it....I guess you can wish him good health beyond that but what's the damn use. I just hope it's just his fattness making him slur his speech and not that he's taken WAAAAAAAY too many punches

You know as fat TOney is, he is still in decent shape. I mean he isn't like Shannon Briggs or anything. He has recently made a good showing like JT said despite being morbidly obese.
