Despite still being round in the mid section ;-) Toney seems to be in shape - judge for youself: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNhAeeJaqwA&feature=channel"][/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNhAeeJaqwA&feature=channel"][/GV]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNhAeeJaqwA&feature=channel[/ame]
The boxing world is scared of you. :rofl WTF, whats that shite. James really looks like the ultimate athlete there...atsch
This content is protected James Toney Joins Bo Jackson, Michael Jordan, Deion Sanders as Two-Sport Athlete I NESN.com how about this for shite.only time you will see all those names together
MMA and boxing are two completely different sports, so yes, Toney is a two-sport athlete. Both sports might include punching, but then again soccer and american football both include running and a football - the similarities stop right there. I still haven't made up my mind if MMA can seriously be called a 'sport' though.. Labelling this fight 'MMA vs. boxing' is idiotic. It's a pure MMA fight that will take place in an MMA cage under MMA rules. Therefore, the outcome of the fight will also be meaningless for boxing - regardless if Toney wins or loses. And just like Bo Jackson and Michael Jordan, Toney is a legend of his sport - boxing. I think he will fail at MMA though.
Well, James has about 80 professional fight an extensive amateur background. He has been in the fight game for 20 years. All of that exeperience will count for something, a fight is still a fight and James will remain calm and accurate in the octagon as well. Toney has been fighting in the pocket his whole life, he will ony need little space to dig in a hook to the body or a short hook to the head. I mean Couture has about 10 losses and only 27 fights. Lesnar has about 4 fights . Come on, to me Toney is the favourite and I expect this fight to go a maximum of 2 rounds.
