if you honestly dont constitue this as racist then maybe i should lump you in as well, even IF thats what he really meant what the **** would that have to do with anything boxing related? james toney has been a shot fighter for quite some time now while denis lebedev is in the prime of his career and looking damn good. why bring race into it? its one of the reasons why im not on ESB as frequently because of the alarming increase of people like that clown.
RJJ has lost a lot of what he had but he's not shot in the same way as JT, listen to him speak and he still expresses himself well. He can't take a big punch however maybe he never could but we didn't know that because he didn't get hit with much until recently until his reflexes dulled. I'd rather that Roy didn't fight on because those KO's will start to have an effect, but he might still be able to pick up a few wins and, as he has said, he's earned the right to decide when he calls it a day...
Where is that "setback reporting" guy? He must be crying now... while figuring out what the excuse will be this time.
Lebedev is a very very tough guy. Iron chinned, aggressive, AND southpaw. He was robbed vs Huck. He was badly underestimated by both RJJ and JT and they paid a price they should not have had to pay if they had done better match-making. He is FAR better than that other slav southpaw a prime Toney had to go life and death with: Jirov.
I do not feel bad at all for Toney. The guy acts like a first class ***** and finally absorbs a fitting beating and now I am supposed to feel bad. Hell No! Lebedev should go ahead and kick ass on the other two iconic American fighters of the past decade(s), Tarver and Hopkins. Make it a clean sweep for Denis "The legend killer" Lebedev.:rofl:rofl:rofl
Seriously? Toney would have beaten the **** outta Lebedev. He is one dimensional, does nothing really well, and was there to be countered all night long. Toney would have beaten him up. Lebedev would have been totally humiliated v RJJ, and off topic, I think Hopkins would beat Lebedev!
Man, that was sad... Toney didn't deserve to go out like that. Still though, credit to Lebedev, he's better than I thought he was (as well as Toney being more shot than I thought he was).
To not win a round on all judges scorecards just underlines how much he has slipped from his earlier self. He should hang up the gloves before his nickname of "Lights Out" means something very different than it was intended.
Toney's camp underestimated Lebedev. They expected Jirov II but Lebedev boxed intelligently and Toney couldn't do anything. Lebedev kept to his game plan all night. Boring but effective.
James is a walking corpse in the ring now. He is as delusional as ever to. Bad times for James, he has really lost the plot.
Toney has looked shot for some time now, his excess weight just helped disguise his decline, as he got bigger as he deteriorated. Sad day to see such a skilled fighter succumb to old father time and the ravages he has put his body through. I hope Toney retires, he has already started slurring his words would hate to see him end up punch drunk by fighting for too long.
