Toney's legs are shot and why does he not know how to fight a south paw?

    He kept tripping over the other guys lead foot. Oh well, doesn't matter because Toney no longer has a boxer legs. It is a good thing the other guy is a marginal puncher and has little movement and speed of his own or Toney would have been laid out.

    Toney has beaten good southpaws before. He is just a shot fighter.

    James Toney is fat and old and doesn't do road work. He hasn't had legs in 6 7 years and has relied on counter punching since going above 175

    Nah, man, obviously what was wrong yesterday is mostly that he doesn't know how to fight southpaws, man, 'cause, like, Legendary Nights said so, man. LEGENDARY NIGHTS, MAN!

    Vassily Jirov is a southpaw, clown.

    Don't know if Toney's legs are shot or if he just has an injured left knee.

    He did say he'd be back after he healed.

    JT has had real bad balance since going to 230 +

    surprisingly this happened at 200lbs this weekend


    if he actually maintains this weight loss and sustains it, perhaps he can get better balance and his reflexes will improve which are not based on youth

    this was a case of drastic weight loss IMO

    strange him being flabby and watery at that weight

    one way or the other he can DO BETTER

    Toney can't fight anymore because of ring wear and age:deal At 43 what do you expect of the guy, he certainly didn't age as well as Hops, because or years of weight problems and bad diet??

    But it's hard to feel bad for the guy because all he's done is put people down for the last 20 years:deal
