    Finally a fatass heavy realises the key to succeeding.

    Liposuction.

    Aint any other way Toney would get to 209.

    It's obvious Toney has money problems and he's trying to talk himself into a big money fight with the Klitz, because he is too lazy and old to get back into the line for a mandatory shot.

    Sad.

    too lazy? - Other reports have confirmed that Toney is in shape. The most sceptic among us will have to wait until the weigh of the Greek fight.

    talk himself into big fight?-Did you evenread the report. Toney wants three fights this year.

    Chambers made a good example. Dropping weight and beat a big Ukranian:cool:

    Now it's up to Saint (Sam) Peter's burger:D

    I like James Toney, but he's blowing a lot of smoke regarding his weight.

    His trainer said it does not matter if he's "209, 220 or 230lbs" which realistically means James Toney is around 235-240lbs as we speak.

    Yes and he also said that they do not want to discard to much strength in favour for the loss in weight... so yep, the lard is still there, CHECK!!

    Then he should get into the ring, fight a couple of prospects and then get another eliminator. That's his only chance of ever facing the "Klitschko sisters" as he calls them. Calling them out won't do a thing because he is damaged goods.

    That's the only way HBO will ever show a fight of his.

    Toney has been in training for a long time and is in shape. Steve Kim and a some reports indicated so. Recent pics seem to confirm this.

    On what BASIS do you disagree?

    I agree. A win over Greek does not warrant a title shot. Toney needs to have one or a couple of decent wins first. I am certain Toney wil fight at least 2 times this year.

    Toney fans will probably remain optimistic about his career until he's about 50 years old. It's mystifying.

    No ..... Klitchko is 209 cm tall, Toney is 175 cm short.

    Historical precedent.

    We have heard it all before from Toney. He has disappointed every time.

    Sure it will be great if it is true. It would be great if he got some success because of it. It may inspire other boxers to do the same thing! Look at Chambers, it worked wonders for him.

    But until proven otherwise, it is correct to remain skeptical. Toney has let all of his fans down too many times before. I expect him to be fighting from 235-240.
