James Toney to defend IBA title on April 7th

I agree, if Toney can't get himself in decent shape (under 220) plus showing at least flashes of his once fantastic abilities he should call it a day and retire. IMO this is nothing more than a cw fight at very average level, let alone a hw title fight for that ridiculous IBA strap, as Gunn NEVER actually fought at hw in his entire career. As for his slurring, you are wright it indeed got worse since the Peter 2 fight. If this really hurts his showing against 2nd tier cw opponents like Gunn, it remains to be seen...
