James Toney outboxed Sam Peter the first time around as much as he got outboxed in the rematch. Like I said, I'm just hoping for one more good performance.

Bwahahahahahah.

I'm glad to see Toney's weight is so low, but I'm still 90% sure this is gonna play out exactly how it looks....two out-of-shape dudes lumbering around the ring occasionally throwing punches.

Actually, I'm assuming it'll be Rahman playing the aggressor and Toney standing still trying to avoid and counterpunch. Whether he can still do that remains to be seen.

I really hope Toney looks better than he did in the 2nd Peter fight. Shit, he looked so bad he made Peter look like he knew how to box. James Toney, one of the greatest boxers in the history of the sport, made Same Peter look like he could box. Unbelievable.

The second fight with Peter he took some really big shots. The guy has an amazing chin and after that fight I remember Freddy saying James should think hard about retirement. Other than that really he hasn't been hit clean many times. His speed is very deceptive because he looks like such a fat slob.
