His weight has fluctuated widely his whole career, especially after the Jones Jr. loss.

168 to 175 to God knows what, back down, Cruiser, heavy...

He knows he was fortunate not to lose the Rahman fight, and hopefully he'll get back on track. I know what you mean though. As he ages it must be getting tougher for him. And now that he's a HW he doesn't HAVE to make a specific weight, so while he will train to bring it down, in the back of his mind he must be thinking 'I don't need to hit a target, I'm a heavyweight'

true, but......................
i think james knows that for this fight he needs to worry about NOT getting hit
toney has it in him and he has to know how important this fight is for him cuz if he loses, he gets knocked down a few rungs on the heavyweight ladder
this is make it or break it for fat boy
hes not gonna win this fight if he comes in looking the way he did in the rahman fight
