    Do you think James Toney after he finally retires should be admitted into the IBHOF?

    He was twice caught using PEDs.

    (this came up in Dan Rafael's chat today).

    Absolutely. For all his faults, Toney was an excellent fighter, and a very tough guy. He is a worthy addition to the IBHOF.

    He's more prone to be admitted into IHOP.

    He should go into retirement that's for sure.
    It's scandalous that he is still being allowed to box.

    It sad. He's faded a lot in the past couple of years.

    He was beaten by Jason Gavern in his last fight, but now he says he'll fight again.

    He defeated Gavern, but the judges were crooked and scored the bout totally wrong. I still enjoy seen him fighting, although it's been for years now time to hang them up. But if he can make some bucks, why not? He has to decide that for himself.

    How much difference should cheating with PEDs make?

    Should we overlook it, or take it into consideration?

    Sweet Jeez hell fukkin YES what a question!

    World titles at 160, 168 and 190 over a 12-year period followed by years of being a significant HW contender, one of the slickest AND toughest fighters of his era with wins over Nunn, R. Johnson, McCallum, Barkley, Jirov and Holyfield MORE than worthy!
