    Classic vid, and old. Jim Grey finally got what he deserved. Grey didn't do much here, but he's constantly been a dick to other boxers post-fight and Toney knew this.

    Believe it or not, but Toney's the nicest, classiest guy around if you're cool with him. But don't ever try and be an ass with him..

    Can you give me some examples of when he's being a dick? I can't recall any of the top of my head

    Love this clip, I remember when this happy and I cracked up! I remember Kostya Tsyu got in Jim's face one time and told him "please don't be rude" which is probably the angriest thing I've heard the flawlessly friendly Tsyu say to someone.

    I don't know what it is but Gray always comes of as a disdainful **** talking down to fighters like he think's they're less than him. I seldom watch one of his interviews without cringing at something he says or asks.

    Jim Grey was past prime and dehydrated. Toney clearly ducked Bryant Gumbel to take this meaningless interview.

    I remember watching that live and loving every minute of it. Then listening to Holyfield repeat the same thing over and over again in his interview.

    Grey has been so condescending to a lot of boxers after first acting friendly, and I'm sure he was going to be the same to Toney. Toney was fired up and wasn't even let Jim do his thing - 'I don't like you dawg!'. Well not many fighters liked Grey but no one but Toney had the balls to do such a thing to a company man.

    James would never have done such a thing to a Larry Merchant f.ex.
    Larry has been criticizing James and other fighters when needed, but he always treated them with due respect.
