Peter 249, Toney 234!

[TheBESTP4P]

looks like Sam Peter was weighed with his SIDE KICK on his hip?

How is it biologically even possible to train as hard as Toney has supposed to have been training, whilst eating a low fat diet consisting mainly of lima beans and salads, and yet to still weigh in at 234 lbs

Either Toney is the unfortunate sufferer of some weight disease, or else im and his camp have been talking a load of shite in the run up to this fight.

I'm inclined to believe its the latter.

How ironic that with all the pre fight attention on Toney's new work and diet ethic and the big hoolah surrounding this Billy Blanks bloke, (who admittedly I had nver heard of) that it is Sam Peter who quietly has been shedding the pounds in an effort to make himself more mobile for the rematch.

I've got a bad feeling on this one for James, he talks a good fight but rarely really lives up to his own hype these days, I'm thinking Peter could be on his way to an easier victory this time around.......

I believe Toney may have a similar problem to Danny Williams....too many energy shakes that his coach isn't keeping an eye on! Naah, there was some speculation that Toney would come in 220-225, but he doesn't have the motivation IMO. He still thinks he can beat the world without training at all, but that just ain't the case. Beating Rydell Booker and Dominc Guinn does not make you a world beater at HW I'm afraid, and it's gonna look bad for him come fight night.

Even though Toney don't look that good, he still whoops Peter.

Is this before or after he feeds the 5,000, turns water into wine and a 25g pack of golden virginia into a large box of fine cuban cigars?

God, Toney really frustrates me, but he does look better. He's definitely been lifting and you can tell in his face, shoulders, and chest. I'm starting to wonder how much cardio Toney actually does. Cardio is needed to burn that fat off his stomach, even though he's 234, he looks trimmer and more muscular. I just wish that he would do more roadword. Peter wasn't lying when he said he'd been running and doing roadwork and it will pay off.

Mann i think toney looks good you know...
We cant expect him to look like he did for holyfield , and booker but damn he aint flabby and he looks full and strong...
dont know why people are pissed..Keep blanks around and in two to three fights we have a much larger version of the shape he was in when first a heavyweight...
And plus no matter if he's completely thin or not..If he has truely been eating right and all that noise
it doesnt have to show..Its possible that his diet has helped conditioning a great deal!
We cant say hes not in shape till we see him fight..But things looks good
Peace

I'm quite impressed with those pics, Toney has lost the fat off of his face and although there is lots of fat on his body, you can see the muscle tone underneath - he has definitely worked hard this time.

Fat Pr1ck

Yeah, i figured weight wasnt ever the issue with Toney.... ( Come on, im being serious!) Just his physical condition.
He looks good for it, thin faced n that. (Still got a tyre belly though.... But then again, Lennox Lewis at 38 wasnt exactly ripped was he?)

To be totally honest, i think Peter has stole the show at the scales man! Peter looks ite, dunno if he'll balloon up though?
Still, he did a better job than Toney....
Hope that dosent depress Toney to the point of scoffing!

[BoomBoom]

To be completely honest i think that toney has to carry some extra fat in order to get some extra leverage and to steer his opponents at heavyweight. His style depends on him having a heavy foudation so he is not to be pushed around by some bigger stronger guy.... in other words anything under 235 is as good as it gets for a 38 y/o Toney.

I think I read somewhere else when Toney first Hired Blanks that He was not trying to loose to much weight because we wants to beable to withstand a shot from a big heavy weight. Plus if you think about it being 38 years old and for so many years really not giving it your all in the training department it will be harder to shed the pound then say someone who is 26 (I think Peter is 26) because when your younger its easier for you to loose weight normally your metabolism is higher.
I still think James looks allot better then his last two fights you can really see the muscle definition so you have think that he has put forth the effort I just hope it was enough to pull out the win.

Before, definitely before.

Perhaps its right after you woke up and realised you missed the fight

Yeah i think that was said right from the off.

234. I didn't totally buy into the hype but I thought he'd be at least about 230.

His body "looked in much better shape"? He can't possibly look in that good of a shape at 234 unless he's been lifting a lot.

Dissapointing, although I guess I'll wait and see the pictures before I make a final judgement. Doesn't totally change my thinking about the fight but still a bit dissapointing

Apparently it wasnt all fat though, apparently he looked in very good shape.. so maybe what was fat is now muscle and he's in better physical shape.

[Punisher136]

He weighs the same but he looks like hes in much better shape. remember weight isn't the sole factor in determining someone's physical conditioning. He looks like hes in much better shape and he will box peter to a clear cut ud.
