Re: Toney vs Peter 1/6 Weigh-In Pics
Hey man, Im cool. I just was riding a pretty losing streak and was excited my thoughts on the fight came true. I enjoyed the back and fourth with you about this bout. Sitting ringside must have been a blast, the fight wasn't very competative, but a very entertain fight (especially with today's heavys).
Glad to have another boxing mind who can and will play devil's advocate to me. I need and appreciate a person(s) that will bring other ideas and insight I don't have.
I'll give me thoughts on the fight real quick as well:
James Toney needs to show some class and give Peter his due and then needs to retire. I don't know what bothers me more about Toney, his ability to eat and undertrain his weight up to 234 or his denial that he could ever lose a fight. It's always someone else's fault James lost, never James. James just needs to look at Peter barely marked face and then look at his swollen and bruised face. 'NUFF SAID JAMES. Time to hand them up, but then again I would love to see him get KO'ed into retirement, because that is the only way he is going to retire.
Peter said he didn't want to fight James Toney again, but that might have been the best move for Peter to fight Toney again. Peter took Toney serious this time and came in shape and with a good gameplan that he followed perfectly. Like Robin said he should things he has never shown before (I too was surprised to see Peter throwing uppercuts and then crisp jabs). The experience Peter gets from going 24 rounds with Toney will really help Peter become a top heavyweight for a decade. He is really improving leaps and bounds from where he was 2 years ago and if Sam Peter keeps at this pace of improvement in his overall game, he will be champion for a while.
What about Valuev/McCline in 2 weeks? Very interesting fight
