What's the score with James Toney. First he was scheduled to fight in July, but it didn't happen. Then I haven't seen any news since. No fights scheduled, no interviews. Does anyone know what is happening with James Toney?

Where is James Toney?
He really should have died just after his prime, would have been nice to remember him for what he was, as opposed to the fat, slobbering, dementia riddled moron he is now.
I just hope he is okay. It is unusual for him to not be speaking. The only time he is quiet is if he is in training, but there are no fights scheduled. It isn't normal. Age happens to the best of us and Toney is no different. Only a few live the rock and roll myth of perfectly sculptured death and nobody should wish ill of the man. Toney has given his life to boxing and prime or post prime, that deserves respect. No hugging or dancing even with a bulge. The true qualities of a fighter.
Have you tried the buffet line?
Even 5 years ago Lucas Browne couldn't beat James Toney. Let alone 10 years ago.
Toney now is just a fat loud mouth that can do very little to get out of his own way, let alone win a fight against average fighters.
He just needs to stick to eating burgers and drinking beer. Because looking at him in the ring, it looks sad. Real sad. Worse than RJJ- and Toney hasn't even been knocked out at any point in his career.
My bet is he's having a dispute with some poor girl working the drive thru on her first day
Whatchu mean only one packet!! I got a 20 piece nugget here bi#@h!! WHUT!
GOT SWEET & SOUR!
It's a shame when anyone lets themselves go, but when an ex professional athlete does it, it's amazing how bad they look.Quote:

It would be interesting to see what Toney could do with another fighter and I would love to see him try. If he could just keep his weight down, his speech would be a little less garbled too. I struggle to see Toney getting a significant fight now as he just hasn't been busy or sharp enough, but maybe that is the cue to try something else. Maybe like Tyson he just wants to be the fighter, but even Tyson diversified eventually. I don't know. I just like James Toney and he cheers me up regardless.Quote:

Excellent pictures with Tyson and Jones Jr. James Toney is alive and well and doesn't look too bad at all.
Where are you James Toney ?
No more Baloney
A one off Dark genius
like Sabbath's Iommi
Demolishing Nunn,
and twice McCallum
You mouth likes to run
like ketchup in Wyoming
We loved you James Tony
never a phony
you moved like a silk sheet
wrapped anvil
a bright shining candle
with moves even
smoother than
slippery Burlusconi
You plied a Dark trade
and Donald McRae
won literary prizes
with his prose
and your pose
both on display
James Toney
James Toney
Where are you James Toney?
He is fine
