    Toney lets his hands do the talking and in a fistic sense he is nothing short of poetic.

    His Jaba-like physique had metrical qualities as it jiggled mercilessly while he was engaged in combat.

    His English has definitely come on a lot. English is his fourth language but it seems like he's able to express himself and articulate his thoughts a lot more comfortably now when he's speaking it. Very nice guy GGG. Genuinely nice not fake nice. Very genial too.

    Actually that's another G we can use

    You can't just take a country's language and name it yours. It's English

    it's based off English but we speak far from real English and most of us know this and call it American amongst us

    Well, as I understand it, English came from Germanic migrants. So I think it's not wholly unprecedented.

    yeh but it wasn't English at that time, more like "ver blunde hille yon ver buildse houfe"

    but I understand you said "wholly".

    yeh that's an American trait though, taking something that's someone elses and calling it yours.

    Toney was never quite valedictorian material.
