James Toney: I've been the most feared man in boxing for the past ten years"

True.

Top guys didn’t have balls to fight him.

Now he will comeback, to rule the Heavyweight division.

Whose next, I got milk baby!!!!

 

:deal

 

A the moment Toney's credibility level tends to zero... and I am willing to admit as a big fan of him! Toney needs to shed another 20 pounds and then a good showing against a top 10 guy (anyone else think that Toney/Banks would make a good fight in Detroit) before loudmouthing again... Toney clearly led his fans down, it's up to him now to prove that he is not finished in boxing!

 

Although the last couple years have tainted his legacy, Toney is a legend in boxing, without any doubt, and nobody can take that away.

He is a legend because he has never feared anybody. He is also one of the toughest to ever lace a pair of boxing gloves.

That said, Toney is in no position to boast these days..

 

Hes also a proven drug cheat :think

 

I hope the 6 weight champion comes back

 

yeah, 2 no contests for positive steroid results. He should quit while he's ahead, he's going to be known even more as a guy who hung around and tarnished the memory of how he used to be.

 

Actually there was one no contest due steroid use for rehabbing bicep injury.

Other was senile commission decision, to change Toney TKO win to NC, for no reason at all.

 

Noted. Apparently fight was stopped on a headbutt before round 4, which by california commission rules, when properly applied, doesn't go to scorecards. Not exactly senile but not steroid related.

 

The guy has always been a gifted fighter. Awesome when he was a middleweight. Jones Jnr took his soul though. The guy is just a fat wanker now.

 

Actually it was stopped because of Rahman wanting to quit after getting wobbled by Toney.

Ref and doctor didn’t think cut was bad enough to stop the fight, but Rahman didn’t want to continue.

So it was correctly ruled TKO victory for Toney in a first place.

WBC and WBO agreed it should have been TKO for Toney and dropped Rahmans ranking while raising Toneys.
IBF half knowledged No Contest change and returned Rahmans old ranking but Toney ranking was still raised

 

yeah I tend to agree with the Roy Jones taking his soul comment

Toney was tearing it up before Jones whooped him

**did Toney ever get back on the Pound for Pound list after that one sided loss to Jr?

 

:good

 

Actually he was a great fighter...WAS being the word..but between brain damage, old age...and just lazness he is no longer a top fighter...Klitschkos would destroy him...so would many many other heavyweights.

 

Even though its sarcasm, it would be great if one could summerize his HW career like that. Unfortunatelly despite old Holyfield he hasnt accomplished anything. The draw with Rahman was really a loss. The TKO in the rematch was very questionable. The win over Ruiz was tainted by stereoids. He lost to Sam Peter in the rematch decisively and win over Oquendo was very questionable as well.
