Did you guys know Toney is scheduled to fight Lebedev at cruiser this weekend?

News to me.

toney must be back on the diuretics. i still hope he knocks the shit outta this guy

 

Same. I expect him to take a beating, however

 

never good when a guy his age loses all that weight. not to mention last time i saw him in a boxing ring some fat redneck in basketball shorts was landing alot of punches on him

 

All the signs are there. His speech hasn't been great for the last decade or so, but he's almost impossible to understand now.

 

I heard about this but forgot all about it until this thread. I don't think anybody cares about this fight other than Lebvedev and Toney. (maybe not even them)

 

It was because his pituitary gland was dislodged by a blow to the head, his body wasn't producing any testosterone or growth hormone, so he needed to get it from a doctor. Its all explained here in this helpful video.

I knew.

I refuse to watch this version of Toney however.

 

Toney is a fat idiot. Seriously. All these years he's talking trash about the Klitschkos and how he would kick their ass and this and that but all it would take him and im talking (3-4 years ago) a couple wins against nobodies in a row and he's got the Klitschos fight. A fight that I have no doubt he would lose , it still would be an interesting fight to watch. But no he just talked thrash from the sidelines with never any intent to actually fight them.

 

I knew. It was mentioned either mentioned in fightnews.

Toney claims he's in the best shape in years for this fight. :)

 

It was because of drastic weight loss and a damaged pituitary gland. He didn't actually take steroids apart from that.

 

i hope he doesn't get chris byrd'ed or de la hoya'ed.

 

Why?

 

^^^ exactly. I hope that specifically turns out to be the case.

 

Interesting.

 

toney is a good guy and a proper sportsman. i hope he beats this communist palooka within a inch of his life.

 

toney has body odor and gender alignment issues.

I hope this slow, simian fellow from the Eastern Steppe bashes him to death.

 

A good guy and a proper sportsman?

Even his publicist would have a hard time saying that with a straight face.

 

Toney is American. FUCK YEAH!

 

toney is a first ballot hall of famer. and an all around swell bloke

 

Yeah his head swelled and never got better.
