Toney knows he's almost through and is just looking for his biggest possible payday before it's all over for him. If Hopkins doesn't fight Calzaghe it'd be a good way for them both to go out.

Toney has no chance of finding Hopkins chin. He couldnt even find Oquendos chin . Even an ancient Holyfield found Oquendos chin
Toney will lose on points and claim he ws weight drained.
If you have watched a good dozen Toney fights then you should know he isint a STRAIGHT FORWARD FIGHTER!!!!! Never has been, why the hell would he be one now:confused:Quote:

PS:Ive seen a good dozen Toney fights so once again JT your accusations fall on death ears:rolleyes:
There is a big damn difference saying YOU THINK TONEY AT 40 AND LOSING SO MUCH WEIGHT, MIGHT REVERT TO HAVING TO BE A STRAIGHT FORWARD FIGHTER IN YOUR OPINION....
OR
James Toney is a straight forward fighter, like you claimed which he clearly is quite the opposite, seeing he is known for being one of the best defensive fighting counter punchers of the past 50 years :rolleyes:
;D
Absolutely absurd.
Toney would have to go on the Christian Bale diet from that movie The Machinist to make 185.
Not that it matters, he's shot, Hopkins beats him at heavyweight or 185, he's not Roy Jones shot but he's pretty shot.
Man I have always liked Toney,the swagger,the tight layed back pivots and crunching 6 inch rights.But he really needs to hang them up.Being real here....there is no way in helz that he's making 185,forget about it.He could amputate both legs and still struggle.Two of my all time favs but a literal case of the two going in opposite directions,with Hopkins I cannot believe I'm saying that,at 43 ??This is one of those "p4p" dream matchups that never happened back in the day,I would have picked Hopkins in a nip & tuck fight.
......JAMES TONEY vs Takiru KobayashiQuote:

I think James Toney is already moonlighting at comedy clubs

I think what Toney meant to say was,Im really hungry and Id like to eat Hopkins
He was cruiserweight champion before after beating Jirov. But I think he'd have to lose more than 45 pounds. He walks around now at about 250. I really don't think it would be possible at his age to get to 185. He's just trying to drum up word of mouth as his career winds down. Probably next he'll want a rematch with Jones.Quote:

I've got nothing but respect for Toney, his accomplishments in the ring, his fighting ability and his mouth outside the ring. And so I'm not going to say anything about his weight. I know he's possibly a few pounds over his ideal fighting weight but he's 40 bless him. I hope he has a long, healthy and happy retirement eventually. Does anybody know how he's fixed? Does he have 10000 kids and alimony debts like Holyfield?
I don't know about wishing him good health, I think it's a forgone conclusion he'll have type 2 diabetes if he doesn't already have it....I guess you can wish him good health beyond that but what's the damn use. I just hope it's just his fattness making him slur his speech and not that he's taken WAAAAAAAY too many punches
You know I love Toney but I think he is getting crazier by the minute. There is no way he can make 185 not even 195 he has gotten lazier with age. This fight was talked about over 5 years ago and it even graced the cover of Ring magazine but it never happened. He should retire or continue calling out the big names in the heavyweight division til someone bites for 1 last payday.
If they signed the fight today it wouldn't come off until the end of the year if Toney were serious. He's got so much weight to lose.
