For guy that is 5ft 10, he is grossly overweight. That is around 18st 5, heavier than the K bros and Fury!!! To lose that much would make him pretty useless at cruiser. It is clear that he has badly abused his body and coming down would just make him weak. Maybe he could take up Sumo Wrestling?
Id be all for it if I hadnt seen his recent video and how bad his speech is these days. Those fights should have happened years ago, at this point he needs to retire. Its not the age, its his obvious brain damage. If he was like Hopkins or Foreman and had so speech problems then Id be for it.
No way he loses 60 pounds at this stage of his career. IF he does and IF he beats a legit CW he'd go down as an ATG in my book.
Do you not think he's an ATG because of roids? Other than that, I can't see why he wouldn't be considered one, regardless of CW.
Toney should shut up and fight. I am bored by all his predictions without anything ever materializing. Get a fight fast whether it as at cw or hw I don't care. Toney proudly announced on the Shamrock press conference that he was supposed to fight as hw on August 19th - guess what happended? Nothing, no further announcement was made. It is pretty frustrating to be a Toney fan these days...
It's hard to definitively count Toney out b/c he's resurrected himself from 'oblivian' before but he really does appear to have some neurological damage judging from his speech. Plus getting outboxed by sam peter in their 2nd fight (admittedly the last fight bar the rahman fiasco that i watched) may well indicate that his reflexes are seriously on the slide
I have always wondered about Toney's speech. People who are obese (which, lets be real, Toney is) often have problems with their speech. I wonder how he would sound if he lost some weight
Yeah, if he lost a lot of weight he may come out sounding like Sid Waddell, and you STILL wouldn't understand him.
I think there is a difference between overeating which can lead you to get quite fat and a disorder where by you ear 4 times the recommended calorie intake. I dunno, i am not a pyschologist but thats what i think
