    This is actually a preview of a news report from the year 2194, when James Toney will be 225 years old and the CW limit will have been raised to 300lbs to reflect the continued fattening of the human race.

    It's possible. I think Toney's natural weight is around 200lbs. He looked flat out obese at HW. His face was bloated and you can tell that he made special efforts in his diet to look heavy, in order to compete with the big boys. Because of this, I think he can lose weight fast and get back to his more natural weight at 200lbs. in a year or so. I think its not such a bad idea since his prospects at HW are limited and there are possible big money fights at CW (Hopkins, Adamek, maybe Dawson).

    I doubt he can make cruiserweight and be strong into the late rounds. Look how Byrd at light heavyweight turned out bad. Not saying that would ever happen to James, but this is a case where he will be weakened badly. He has been at heavyweight a long time.

    They guy is done. That fight vs Oquendo was so damn horrid, I can't see him beating any good cruisers who apply a good amount of pressure and combination's. Toney is done.

    he has a better chance of turning white than getting down to 195

    If they cut off that spare tire round his big ol' belly, maybe.

    Toney won't make 200 lbs, sorry that ship has sailed.

    It's from a couple months ago, he looks no more than 230 there. So him being 225 lbs at this point might be true.

    if Toney hops his fat ass on the treadmill, he can make cruiser without much problem...i don't know if anyone has noticed but Toney is a fat heavy, and he was a fat cruiser too...believe it or not Toney's real best weight is 175, but he doesn't do roadwork and relies on his natural talent in the ring...Toney could make cruiser but his days are numbered and he better make a big time move quickly...
