Peter is probably the biggest puncher in boxing and Toney isn't going to want to take chances.

Am I the only person who feels Toney deserves credit for taking this fight?

I mean he's a natural middleweight and he's fighting a pretty ferocious puncher in Peter. It's not as if he needs the fight either, seeing as he could get the winner of Rahman/Maskaev.

Respect to the fat, mouthy one for taking this, and if he can win, without being floored 3 times like the chinny one it will be a great achievement.
James Toney steps up and fights some good competition. Sam Peter packs some power, so if Toney is smart, he will be ready in physical shape because it will be important for him to be able to effectively move to beat Peter.
