    he lost a lot of weight. Hopefully he didn't weaken himself.

    In 2002, at the height of Balco's reign over US sports it was certainly plausible.:deal

    anyone got recent pic of toney? I seen one a while ago (he in a tank top with crazy beard) and he looked great. then i see him at the first presser in russia and looked like he had put it all back on. he even said " u can bet that w8 is gonna be a problem".

    Though the weight loss may have weakened him physically (I hope not too much), I don't think his chin itself is gone. Toney took bombs for 24 rounds by Sam Peter and wasn't even badly hurt, I can not imagine that Lebedev stops him. Not even if Toney has nothing left. Should Toney really not offer any resistance anymore (again, I hope it's not the case), then he will take a beating for 12 rounds, but not get stopped.

    We've seen it happen before, as the examples of Roy Jones and Chris Byrd so clearly show. And, don't forget also, that Toney is ancient. We've seen guys with rock-solid chins, like Ray Mercer, become less than iron as they got older.

    So, yes, it's possible. I will believe it when I see it.

    We've all seen what happens when fighters cut too much weight look at roy Jones and Chris byrd they both lost their reflexes and athletic abilities when they cut down too far. I worry the same might happen to Tony in this case

    No. Toney was born with a chin of ****ING TITANIUM and he'll die with one. Some guys are natural.
