Toney got fat?

Thats the vicious rumor going around, but dont worry he'll be in shape next time.

This fight was taken on relatively short notice. There was footage of Toney watching Pac train for his last fight and he looked huge then. Toney obviously put in a little work to get in shape, but felt ready to beat his opponent anyway. Sure it's a shocking weight, but he will weight less next time out. Mark my words, this was just Toney getting back in the ring and best of all is that he got a 10 round work out and seemingly won every round easily enough.

Yeah but this was against an opponent that Herbie Hide smashed inside a round over 10 years ago!

The opponent is crap. I sort of do agree with you that Toney uses these fights as part of his training. Most of his training comes from sparring but at this weight he just cant move! He cant complain that no one wants to fight him when hes coming in to the ring out of shape and making boring fights for it.

No, I agree with many of the complaints I have been reading. Toney was far too heavy and I'm a bit annoyed that he couldn't manage to stop what was effectively a journeyman. Still, it was short notice and Toney has looked huge since Randy whatsisname. As a quick comeback fight I will give him a pass. It seems he did it easily enough and it didn't matter that he was like a marooned whale. It wouldn't be wise to step up in this kind of shape.

Only 257? I thought he was pushing 300 by some of his most recent pics. I guess for fat Toney 257 is pretty slim for him now a days.
