did toney's leg affect his performance in any way?

When you're obese for a large part of your life then your knees and joints usually suffer. Toney looked embarrassing and unprofessional stumbling around the ring like a drunken sailor starting from the second round on.

Did it affect his performance? Yea. But he'd still have lost. He has zero timing, he's slow as molasses and his entire hip movement is reduced to simply lowering his head.

It's disgusting to watch, makes you want to puke.

 

I think it did affect, but was it the only reason for lack of balance? Hard to say.

 

Without the leg injury it was pretty clear Toney woulda schooled this fool. FACT

 

Toney now has a new found respect for Haye :deal

 

His legs mistakenly led him to that ring.

I'm hoping that they will now do the right thing and go and seek out some slippers to put on and raise themselves onto a small footstool.

 

It must of affected him to some extent but imo he'd have lost anyway.Has been a great fighter but hes looking like every one of his 42 years.
Hope thats him done but i think he'll fight again.:verysad

 

Yeah it did, but he had **** balance anyways and would have gotten shut out regardless

 

He stumbled more in 12 rounds than a drunk russian bum in a year. Lebedev made him look like a complete fool.

 

Toney would have lost the fight without the leg injury, but not like that.

In the first round he was actually a bit competitive and thew punches. He was capable of driving forward and wasn't entirely off balance. He was incapable of throwing a punch after the second round. Could not plant at all.

Again, he would have clearly lost, but it wouldn't have looked quite like that. I could be wrong, but I suspect he injured the leg before the fight, took a few days off, and then tweaked it again in the second round.

James would have lost to Damon Reed after that second round, the fight was entirely over and he had zero movement.

I don't think it was unlucky, he was more susceptible to getting hurt because of his lifestlye and being old and shot, but there was a very clear difference in him after he tweaked his leg. I wish Mcgirt would have stopped the fight then. Lebedev could have stood with his hands down and given toney twenty free shots and it wouldn't have made a difference.

 

I love James and I'm sure the leg did affect him.... But I think age and weight has caught up. I'm pretty down with my favorite fighter losing in this fashion.... I hope if he doesn't decide to hang them up that his performance was hindered because of the injury.

 

Its time he hung em up.What is there left for him.I would hate to see him take a real beating at his age

 

Lebedev took Toney out to a fancy restaurante, took a romantic horse carriage around town, stopped by to marvel at the Kremlin, and than never called him again.

 

Wonder if he still wants to fight the Klitschkos?

 

it affected him but not in a way which would have changed the outcome. Respect for not quitting, but was embarrassing regardless.

he talked lot of **** and mostly backed it up... but now even od rjj looks better
