    Everyone has their own opinions but Toney makes some bad statements sometimes. He recently called Ricky Hatton 'trash' and on his IG he called McCallum and Hopkins 'Sh@t'. It's not nice to talk like that about colleagues, I love James Toney, he was a great champion and I'm sorry he has more and more difficulty speaking but he's definitely wrong when he has no respect for his colleagues. He should learn from people like Usyk and Hopkins (since he retired) to have respect for other boxers.

    It's solely because Usyk is White/European. If he were a Black American Toney would say Usyk's the GOAT.

    Wasn't James Toney Pit Bull from the Player Haters Ball? :lol:

    Toney just doesn't seem to like that many fighters in general for some reason. He's trash talked on guys like Hopkins, Calzaghe, the Klitschko bros.

    Someone find me a Toney video where he is even remotely complimentary to another fighter?

    It's his shtick!

    He hated on Tyson Fury in till he busted Wilder up

    Usyk cannot be diminished even if James were the same size id take Usyk to outwork him. I need to watch some Toney highlights again I do like him.

    James Toney can make Larry Holmes look fairly gracious at times. You can't take him seriously.

    Bold, old fool. At least it's a bit different than blatant ass kissing.

    1993 just called. He's always talked the same nonsense trash about other boxers & their fights, only now he's old & punchy. Imagine him in another 20 years...

    Toney’s shot.

    And I don’t mean as a boxer.

    Dude looks like he needs someone to help him with basic life functions….

    …. Feeding, dressing, bathroom, etc.
