James Toney !!!!!!!

he's now called the "Black Butterbean"

 

The best current Michigan boxer in the game and a legend

 

he's a Legend at his local Pizza Buffet :yep

 

Toney is right up there with the best technical fighters in the past 30 years. His slick style of slipping punches is excellent. However, in his early career he was a bit inconsistent in fights and was perhaps in love with his power at the time and could be slightly lazy (see his fight with Michael Nunn). At the time he fought RJJ he was probably p4p king, but losing the fight easily set him back. He claims, and it's widely accepted he was weight-drained for this fight at SMW. Check out his fight against Tim Littles, the ref was going to stop Toney on a bad cut & he went out & got the KO to finish the fight.

His style of slipping punches, whilst excellent has probably led him to being caught a fair number of times & he sounds pretty punchy these days. However, he is still good for some controversy! He was also quite out there in using Jackie Kallen as his manager at a time when women & boxing were regarded as incompatible. All in all Toney is a very interesting guy, with a pretty impressive career, and lots of interesting events & controversy never far away. He also has the same middle name as Marvin Hagler!

 

once great boxer squandered his name in his heavyweight run with name calling, weight gain, steroids and inactivity

then he ate his words

anything he did good for the sport is being forgotten

 

Toney has a few nut-huggers in here but the facts are...

he got Owned twice by Sam Peter...

when Sam Peter lost to the Klitschko's he was a bum tho... :nut

but when he beat their hero Toney tho Peter was a great fighter!!

Toney got stripped of the title due to steroid use...

he thought he needed Roids to defeat Ruiz atsch

he's Fat and eats alot, he'll do anything for $$$ to buy more FOOD! :hey

he's called "lights out" cuz his fights put you to sleep

his stinkers with Rahman, Ruiz, and Oquendo sucked big Kielbasa's...

and he made Boxing a laughing stock in his UFC debut :yep


:tired his boring crap fights against Damon Reed and Danny Batchelder made
the Wlad Klitschko vs Sultan Ibagimov look like the Greatest fight of all times

 

people make fun of him now..but when he came on the scene, he was kicking ass and taking names.....his activity and resume speaks for itself early on starting with knocking out undefeated michael nunn

in just 3 1/2 years
21 fights
12 world title fights
2 weight division champion
the thing that makes him a bad ass is he had all these fights after he won his first world title...
to put in real perspective in 3 1/2 years had only 5 fights fewer than david hayes entire 8 year career and 7 more world title fights

what a dumb **** you are....shows you are a newb to the sport.....

the guy has 80 fights and career spans 20 years and you make fun of his last few fights? what a douche bag atsch

over look his 13 world title fights and a 3 division champ at 160 168 190
and beat ruiz ass and won that at heavyweight until he failed a drug test..he still kicked ruiz ass a heavyweight and he started from middle

 

Haye and the Klitschkos duck him...


In all seriousness, he was great at the lower weights. At heavyweight he was a bust.

 

only by dumbasses like you.

some of his fights are downright classics. Toney v McCallum 1 is going down in history as a purist's dream fight

give it a rest motherfuker, jesus christ, look at this guy. probably never watched a Toney fight before but rambling on about fking DVDs and whatnot

 

Toney vs jirov = one of the greatest fights of all time!!!!!!
