    They were friends for a long time. Toney's become a bit of a joke now, just running his mouth on anyone that will get him some column inches. It's a shame, because he has some of the best banter in boxing history I reckon. It's why I loved him more even than Eubank and Benn when I was a kid.

    You can hardly blame him considering the paydays he is still getting off his past reputation and trash-talking.

    One of his recent rants on Tyson a few months ago:

    Tyson vocally criticized Toney's move into MMA which may have caused the rift.

    Tyson did become a sissy late in his career. I tend to agree with Toney. I think Toney didnt like the fact that Tyson went from a real old school fighter to a premadonna sissy, which he did late in his career. Tyson's lack of self confidence late in his career was pretty mind boggling, its almost like he regressed back to the 13 year old that was afraid to enter amatuer fights.

    Plus its easy to kick a man while hes down. Toney wouldnt have ran his mouth around 86-96

    Your right Tyson did turn into a sissy, form beign a straight bad ass, kid who was locked up numerous times, thug, brooklyn bad boy, potential killer, straight from the ghetto to a wimp.

    Freddie Roach wanted Tyson to go to Wild Card and spar with Toney and prepare for his fights. Tyson refused and made Roach leave the Wild Card to train him in Arizona. Tyson pulled the same crap with Roach, not showing up for training and acting like an idiot. That pissed James off, because Freddie was gone wasting his time.

    I once read somewhere that Tyson and Toney were good friends, and used to hit strip clubs together and cause trouble. Can't remember where I read that though, haha. Anybody else recall this?
