    He needs to stop before he reverses his brain damage. I couldn't bear to hear Toney start uttering legible sentences in an interview. That'd be all kinds of wrong.

    He planned to fight the winner of Briggs v Qquendo until Briggs tested positive.

    Other highlights from the interview.

    A Tyson fight in China was planned for 2015 but Tyson pulled out.

    Randy Couture refused a rematch in boxing.

    GGG stops Canelo.

    The only way this is okay is if Toney can get old guy fights with Roy or even Hopkins.

    You're not a true boxing fan unless you can understand what James Toney is saying.

    I would pay front row tickets to see Toney vs Hopkins. I want to see B Hop take another plunge out the ring like Michael Phelps at the Olympics. I wanna see Hopkins dive head first out of the squared circle like Mark Spits.

    looking so old now. At his peak, a wonderful boxer with supreme reflexes and incredibly talented. I would prefer to remember that version of James Toney.

    Toney should retire now, with a last KO win and having finally won a HW championship, though a minor one.

    If he choses to fight on, so be it... but the fight needs to make absolute sense, also money-wise, no more journeymen. I think a rematch with Roy Jones would be OK, and a winnable fight for Toney

    Since Briggs is out of the picture, why not have Toney step in? A rematch with Oquendo for the WBA championship! Would be a good fight

    You would think it is all about the $$$ but judging by some of the short clips of crowd size at the last fight vs Sheppard I cant think that event would have paid much, unless the PPV did anything ? Does anyone know the gate or PPV numbers ?
