he's not exciting anymore and he's really fat. his fights are usually boring almost as bad as ruiz. he's rich and he's accomplished a lot throughout his career. why doesnt he just retire?
How do you know he's rich? And I can hardly see James Toney as someone who can easily step away from the sport. He loves to fight, in the prize ring or in the gym.
I don't know really, he's probably delusional about his standing in the division. Or not probably, he is I don't find him boring though. Flat-footed and slow as he is, there is an artistry to his old school style and inside fighting, even at this stage
with the title holders there are now, for sure he can win a belt with the exepction of wlad and vitali
First of all, I don't know what your definition of rich is, but I'm willing to bet that Toney is not worth more than 2 million at this point. Secondly, I think he feels like he has something to prove after the Ruiz fight and the Sam Peter fights. Thirdly, the fans still want to see him fight because he talks a good talk and he has an old school style of fighting that a lot of people respect.
Is he delusional? Or are the people saying Toney should retire delusional, about the quality of the rest of the heavyweight fighters? In the minds of a lot of people Toney is 1 and 1 with a current champion and he just won a fight that is supposed to lead to a title fight. So is Toney delusional, or are the people who are going to give him a title fight delusional? Or are we all delusional for believing that there is any firm answer to any question?
