until he gets hit.....he has never been hit by a true banger.....Rahman doesn't count....
What in the hell are you talking about, Rahman doesn't count... THat's all Rahman can do is punch...and he hit Toney with some big right hands... Peter basically sucks, imo... He is a sloth, Toney would make him look absolutely silly... I think if Wlad fought him again he could KO him fairly quickly, and I think that was a piss poor performance by Wlad in the first fight, people give him major props for that win... I see it as him almost being KOed by a total amatuer who had nowhere near the same physical tools, and isn't even on the same planet in terms of skill... I mean really, Wlad handled him just fine except for the 4 times Peter landed a punch on him, Toney can handle punches just fine, so he would beat him easier, imo, because he wouldn't have the mental baggage that Wlad did in that fight... I mean that may as well have been Wlads pro debut all over again he was just there to shake off his nerves and get comfortable.
Besides totally bagging on Peter too much, I tend to agree. James Toney does have a great chin and Wlad does get a little too much credit for that win. Peteri is one dimensional that is for sure, but he has great power, chin and heart. Unless he improves his fundamentals he is probably gonna be a Tua or Shavers type of guy in the HW divsion for the next few years. The kind of guy who could KO anyone, but can be outboxed. I think this is a dumb move for Peter, he needs a guy like Mccline, Maskeav(after he fights Rahman), or Lance Whitaker or someone. Maybe Monte Barret. But James Toney is a master boxer and it's gonna be a tuff fight for Peter, less James comes in at 300 lbs or some ridiculous fukin thing.
