Apparently, Toney, now almost 40-years-of-age, looked "nearly as thin as he did in the Holyfield fight." This is good news.
James Toney Reportedly In "Best Condition Since Holyfield Fight"
A resurgence of James Toney? I would love to see it...a man with his skill and style is not only good for boxing but he could bring back the HW gold to the U.S...it could be just wishful thinking but hey...the day that james toney loves to train is here... could be possible...right? |
As much as I'd love to think so I can't.

This is exactly why I want to see Haye-Toney. I'm really interested in Haye's future at heavy, and I hope he becomes the next big thing. What really interests me in a potential Haye-Toney fight is the fact that Haye will pretty much know that he won't be stopping Toney. I would be very interested in seeing how Haye performs in a fight that goes the distance against a decent quality opponent who can box back. Haye-Toney would be VERY telling to all interested in Haye. I want to see it badly.

so perhaps he will lose since i doubt he can ko toney, especially if toney is actually enjoying training and being fit.
rahman is by no means an easy fight though. the guy is strong as hell.

Rahman looked lackluster against Lawrence who had more than ten losses I think.
