In 1991 (or 92, around there), in a KO magazine interview, Toney said that he would be heavyweight champ by 2004. (Marblehead, I'm suprised you don't remember.) So maybe crazy like a fox.
A lot of wasted opportunity, that's for sure. He has to be kicking himself, seeing Hopkins giving boxing lessons, when he was always the better fighter. Bill Miller taught him real well and he can fight all night with a minimum of energy expended.
Who knows what he has left at 43 or 44? I'd love to see him fight Hopkins...unless the two of them did business and decided to make it a non-contact event.
