The official James Toney Appreciated thread:

I don't appreciate drug cheats.

 

toney is a pure grade A+ legend and one of the best...

one of the best resumes there is..

and a guy who puts a mark on every weight class he steps.

 

While Fitz is an ATG according to most experts, you have to acknowledge that due to the lesser weight disparity in those days (the gap between an average MW and HW was far less important), Toney's accomplishment (he fights 40+ pounds over his initial pro weight) is pretty unique.

 

Fitz fought Jeffries when Jeffries weighed nealry 50 pounds more than him ... when Fitz fought at hw he still weighed in under the lhw limit.

 

The only footage on the web I can find of him is either him getting beat up by Roy Jones or his overweight Heavyweight days. Need to find more stuff of his.

 

go on youtube and watch his destruction of nunn

 

Will do. :good

 

roy jones, get yo track shoes on

I love this James Toney KO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-k1TllSSE4

 

:happy :happy :happy :good

I love watching him fight also. His style is so fun to watch. His attitude only makes him more intriguing.

 

here's a pretty good highlight video on youtube, covering all his career

After the fact, but ESPN Classic aired his dismantling of Holyfield last night. They usually run fights more than once so keep your eyes open if you have ESPN Classic.

 

true old school badass fighter

one of the baddest men to ever step into the ring

 

James Toney is GOD. I am still waiting for Toney and B-Hop to square off in streetclothes, so that Toney can **** up Hopkins, and then pull his pants down, as Hopkins lies on the floor, unconscious.

 

When Toney quits ducking Mighty Minto then maybe I'll appreciate him a little.
