    Default Where is James Toney?

    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?
    Somewhere alive, unfortunately.

    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.

    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.

    It's a shame when anyone lets themselves go, but when an ex professional athlete does it, it's amazing how bad they look.

    I love the fighter formally known as Toney, but he really has been the incredible expanding man for decades now. Sadly I'm thinking if he has dropped outta sight, its very likely he is pushing 300+ lbs and literally unintelligible when he speaks.

    Can you imagine a boxing mind of that depth as a trainer/advisor? Its a damn shame

    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.

    He's doing okay.

    Been at a boxing fan expo taking pics with Roy Jones, Mike Tyson, Chris Byrd etc.

    Doesn't look 300 lbs.

    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?
