James Toney Appreciation thread

"Fighting milk duds"

"You ever been hit by him?"

Man what a guy. Too bad his voice is a little messed up. I think he'd be a fun guy to listen to as a commentator.

 

How anyone can respect a fighter that was caught roiding twice is beyond me.

wow, lights out doesn't look as pathetic as he normally does. did he lose weight?

 

SMH @ Toney taking a steroid that is used for horses to lose weight.

 

It means people stop caring much for what he does in the future because he cheats too much.

I still remained a fan after the Ruiz roid test, but I've given up on him after his last terrible performance and positive roid test.

Oh well, there's always the Barkley, McCallum I, Williams, Delgado, Holyfield, Jirov, Robinson, Washington, etc....fights to watch and enjoy.

 

When I think of James Toney, I think of a crafty boxer. Crafty boxers don't get enough respect I think. He certainly deserves credit for the skills he has shown in the ring & for his success in his long career.
The roid thing was a bad move and I think he should have avoided the heavyweight division if he felt he couldn't have succeeded naturally. I believe he could have beaten the clinch-man Ruiz without the juice.

 

Sorry folks! but a guy who is in competiion against a fellow athlete and CHEATS is a loser. When ben johnson cheated don't remember anyone going it don't matter that much.

 

He was only caught taking steroids in his prime that does not mean he had not used them sooner. The fact that he was caught twice to me says that he thought he had a full proof method to not getting caught (possibly one that had worked in the past). IMO it puts a question mark on his entire career especially the fights where he looked the most muscular such as Jirov and Holyfield.

Everything else is meaningless IMO. You don't get to choose which rules you are going to follow and if you can't compete without breaking any of them then you don't deserve the respect that you are claiming that James deserves.

 

James Toney is should be remembered as an ATG. He was fun to watch in his prime and was also one of the craftiest fighters I have ever seen during my lifetime.

 

It could just mean he didn't use until late in his career, when he was fighting bigger guys and also having injuries.

It's sad and extremely dissapointing that someone with the fighting skills of Toney lacks any sense of discipline in terms of taking care of his body outside the ring. The fact that Toney's last positive steroid test was a drug used for HORSES TO LOSE WEIGHT showed this once again.

Toney looked the most muscular ever against Booker.

 

Yes it could but it could also mean that you had used before and just not gotten caught. Like I said, it puts a question mark on the entire career. I didn't say that it emlimates it.

 

I appreciate Toney for all hes done. His boxing style, his personality, and his chin are one of a kind. Toney is the man.

 

I agree with a poster above about the fact that steroids cannot enhance the skills, and Toney definitely deserves appreciation for his skill. That being said, in my eyes he is a complete uneducated degenerate. One has to also wonder about people intelligence, whoever considers Toney as funny and outspoken.

 

James Toney would psychologically bully Kelly Pavlik, and beat him up in the street, if he saw him. Kelly Pavlik will be scared to death and slobberring all over his face, like he was in the stare down with Jeramine Taylor. Take one look at James Toney's intimidating face and 20" neck, Kelly Pavlik will look even more ill.

James Toney is much like Nigel Benn, he will enjoy a bust up, anywhere, anytime.

James Toney refused to do road work, any conditioning drills. And would just turn up in the gym, and fight, and spar 300 rounds. Bionic, he is a freak with his boxing skills.

He will abuse Kelly Pavlik.

 

Toney already ruined MR KOOL's *******.
