please don't anyone do anything because of what i would say about the the evander fight. i have always loved to watch and root for him and will do so regardless of whether it's a smart move or not. since i am not making a living betting boxing i will place a wager on evander and root my heart out for him and enjoy any victory. there is no common sense or handicapping involved. to think that he would be able to unify the title as he wishes to do is a stretch, but i will be rooting the whole way. to be thrilled in a victory like the one he had over tyson the first time around is a lifetime memory. that being said i was wondering any thoughts some of you might have on the upcoming fight with toney? thanks :D

let`s

let`s

try and keep an eye on toney`s weight....if he comes in at around 210,i`m gonna look hard at holi....toney`s a legit super middleweight with a middleweight frame....

210 is very heavy for a guy his size.....it`s not gonna be muscle....and even if some of it is,it`s gonna be tougher to be quick and carry the weight well for 12 long rounds....

will be interesting kicking this one around...

confession...i took toney at +170 when it opened....if things change or i don`t like what i hear out of toney`s camp,i`ll buy it back in a heartbeat....

i hear evender`s looking absolutely great in camp....but,he`s 40 years old and has seen some very hard miles....

i love evander.....another guy fighting over his natural weight....but,what a warrior...he`s got some seriously hard bark on him....

could be fun....

evander is all about what a fighter and warrior should be. still get chills when i see him knocking iron mike into oblivion. only concern i see is his age and possible deteriorating skills. however, like you, i see all the rave reviews of evanders condition but unfortunately this is the fight game. lol is it true or does it even matter at this point? toney can't or better not use the same strategy with evander he used in his last fight. evander hits alot harder and is alot bigger and toney really needs to box and counter punch and not stand toe to toe with holyfield. i hope he does however. :D starting to get excited now. where's lewis ? bring him on. lol just kidding. i do agree a toney in great shape is really just a super middleweight. anything else and toney looks fat. however some guys can just do athletic things and not look the part. mainly baseball players. lol i can see why ya took toney as a dog, but as i said i use no reasoning when it comes to holyfield. again i don't bet the mortgage either. wouldn't it be great if but some miracle evander could unify the title and then ride off into the sunset. if lewis retires and in fact the reason he looked not so great in some of his more recent fights was due to shoulder injury and not age........ hmmmmm don't see alot of super quality heavyweights out there right now. would have to get past a klit though. hmmmm lol well let's get past toney first. babbling on a bit here eh?
