James Toney and the HOF

He's been busted twice, so who's to say he hasn't been using them his whole career? It puts everything in question, so I say NO hall of fame for Toney.

 

Toney WILL be in the HOF.

 

I agree, but I think he will be included anyway. If the main media runs a story on boxing and illigal drugs and it gets main media like Tour de France... then he will not and if they already had they will have hell to answer. But I believe they are too dumb to even contemplate that scenario so I think he will get in.

 

Toney is a disgrace to boxing.

 

If you keep Barry out of the HOF you have to keep just about every player who played in the 90's cause they all were juicing. Barry was just better then them to begin with and already a shoe in for the Hall before he was roiding. :good

Also, don't forget that way more pitchers have tested positive then any other position in the game, so what are you going to do about that? Add homeruns and base hits to ball players who played against roided pitching?

:hi:

 

I am firmly against steroids but if you keep one man out for cheating you'll have to do it to them all. Toney has had a HOF career, I think he will get in regardless but it would be nice to see the HOF put their foot down and simply say "NO" to any boxer that's tested positive for illegal substances in their pro careers, period. That said, I'm a bit of a Toney fan and will be glad to see James get accepted.

 

There's no question that he should be in the hall of fame. Even if he retired before he moved up to HW, he would still deserve to be there. No amount of steroids would give you the skill that he had anyways. Nowadays, he's a fat, disappointing, cheater but oh well.. he'll be remembered for what he did in his prime age/weight classes.

 

James Toney and the HOFF. Hall Of Fat ****ers!

 

He will be there. 70-6-3 with those million titles in many classes pretty much cement his place. I don´t think too many will even remember his doping tests.

 

:good

 

if it was up to me (which we all know it's not). He would never get in. 2 times getting busted is completly unnacceptable and just plain disgracefull. I agree with JoeyP. They should make an example out of him.

 

Close call but he'll probably make it.

 

hell make the hof...
