    He will be, but maybe more as a 'What might of been' fighter, if he had a commitment to training he would of been right up there with Jones and Hopkins.

    He should be. I don't see why not, he was a hell of a fighter.

    You could ask Mayweather the same question. Always retiring and fighting and retiring.

    Of course he will. Regardless of his hw career, he was an atg at 168 and was so good at fighting he could go in fat as a heavy and still beat good comp.

    He is up there with Jones and Hopkins. He won the heavyweight title just like Jones did. He also won the cruiserweight title, the light heavyweight title, etc.

    I'll be nearing 50. I hope my memory won't be too bad. I'll remember him : )

    He's a future Hall of Famer, course he'll be remembered. His colourful character cannot be forgetten

    people won't look back fondly on toney in 30 years time, the bull**** fanboys will have dissapeared and all that will be left behind will be the cold hard facts.

    toney is a deluded, steroid cheating disgrace. he took steroids because he is a cheat. he don't fight off a level playing field, he cheats because he knows he is not good enough without cheating. Toney has been caught cheating only twice but the glaring reality is that he will have taken steroids repeatedly but only caught twice

    even in toneys prime, he was only winning life and death split decisions with the likes of dave tiberi, sosa, and johnson

    hell, a prime toney could only grab a draw with sanderline williams

    james toney fan boys are so sad on esb that they try and big up wins against a eurobum like jirov and against an iran barkley that had recently lost to nigel benn in one round and then lost to a shot roberto duran at middleweight, thats right - a 37 year old duran fighting at middleweight

    toney then got his ass kicked by the likes of thadzi and midget griffin

    toneys run of fights in the super-middleweight division is perhaps the most embarrassing and cringe-worthy run of any champion in the history of the sport.

    toney may have been able to get away with his bull**** in america through the help of ring comic and hbo brainwashing, but the rest of the world are not as ignorant and blinkered when assessing toneys career
