James Toney should just retire, he is irrelevant in boxing for the past few years. He's good days are over, he is simply mad at the world now for his slacking and sluggish ways
what, like he did to sanderline williams, dave tiberi, reggi johnson, sosa, griffin and thadzi ****ing idiot :rofl
he actually did beat reggie johnson imo and many others opinions. he was getting stronger and stronger with each round.
Toney! He speaks great truths about boxing. "Shiiiiiiit....Potali Quitsko. 'Dem bitches skeered of James Toney, everybody know that. Bitchko Sisters...all be skeered of me. James Toney legend, best dat eva lived. shiiiiit"
What/who did Toney duck? The only thing he ever ducked in his life was the salad bar. He would still smack talk his way to a title if given a chance.
How come so many have forgot the real level some of these alledged American greats were really fighting at? look at the level Toney was fighting at, when IBF SMW champ 1993 he wins the title from iran barkley a fighter who years earlier was blown away by nigel benn in 1 round and pummelled to a loss by a shot roberto duran barkley went onto lose 11 out of 25 fights following this fight and never beat anyone who was remotely good in doing so,the guy was so desperate he was even plying his trade as a HW in the late 90's against the likes of berbick and they say this era is a joke govonor chambers a guy with a career record of 9 wins 7 losses, all 3 fights prior to toney were ko losses! ricky thomas: won 11 lost 14,the 4 fights he had prior to toney all losses! glenn thomas:won 29 lost 8, lost to roy jones prior to toney and finished his career with a first round ko loss to jeff lacy. danny garcia: won 30 lost 22, was coming off losses to chris pyatt (a steve collins victim) lamar parks etc larry prather: won 19 lost 24,lost his last 5 fights prior to the toney fight even losing to nicky piper tony thornton: won 37 lost 7,lost to chris eubank a year earlier. anthony hembrick: won 31 lost 8,lost to maske prior to toney and orlin norris a year earlier. tim littles: won 27 lost 3,maybe one of his better wins,had fought mainly bums with the exception of a close UD over frankie liles,went onto lose to frankie liles in a 2nd contest following the toney fight. vinsom durham: won 21 lost 37 enough said. charles williams: won 37 lost 7 drew 3,lost to maske prior to toney. (this post was improvised from ESB great Silencer, on one of his great threads)and finally the Jones fight and, That was Jones big SMW victory where Toney was alledgedly weight weakend, other than that Jones didnt do much at SMW. Eubank and Benn though had some good genuine SMW victories Benn beat Wharton, McClellan, Nardiello, Galvano and drew with Eubank Eubank beat Watson, Rocchigiani, Wharton, Holmes and drew with Benn. Collins was also better at SMW than MW and twice beat Eubank and Benn. I think Collins would have out toughed Toney and Jones at SMW. Would have picked Benn and Eubank to have beaten Jones or Toney also. Eubank, Benn and Collins were fighting at a much higher level at SMW.
Toney's overall resume is far greater than Eubank's, Benn's, or Collins'. Only a biased ***** would dispute that.
