    3 rounds does not suit Toney's style at all.

    Nevertheless, Toney is in shape , Expect him to weigh in around 220-225 for the tournament.

    So, He may not win the tournament, but he won not take much punishment either

    I dont know about life but certainly for several years

    I would think that the ban would be in effect until like 2017 or something at the very least

    Communication skills are required to be an effective teacher. Toney, in his current state, can barely say the alphabet without a translator present.

    Toney says he is weighing below 220

    If he keeps fighting then at least he is in shape.

    If he is in shape I bet he wins at the least 1 of these fights. He has no balance at 260 pounds but at 220 he can still handle one or two of these guys. His defense is still better than 90% of the heavyweights around.

    Toney looks like a cruiserweight nowadays. Can't believe it, because he weighed in at 250 lbs in June for his fight against Lemos.

    Could be yes. At least, I expect him not to be hit a lot as he is in shape now.



    However, The problem for Toney is that he is always been a late round fighter not an early round fighter.

    He trained hard yes. Howver, he was doing a fitness prgramm, he now needs to go through a hard boxing programm with sparring and technique to be ready for november.

    Most importantly, Toney needs to hire Mc Girt and work on his technique . james was without a trainer against a brown.

    I see it was four years, but that still means he is back early(really, he should never get back)

    he always spars. his main problem in training in the past is that he didnt do much else but spar.

    I think there is a real argument for toney as the greatest at 168 ever

    Roy beat a ghost of toney

    I don't know how it goes if both guys are 100%

    But prime toney murders anyone else in history

    ****, 168 toney would beat prime tyson, since tyson was ****

    Do you realize how much this dude spars? Technique is the last thing James Toney needs help with.
