That article is right in some parts wrong in most....
YES..James toney is naturally skilled and doesnt need to train to whip half the guys out there...
Hes out of shape and far away from his natural wieght of middleweight and still unarguably one of the best out there..Because that is exactly how insanely deep his talents lie...
On the other hand..The whole shot thing..No..
Toney is not shot..He is ' unshootable' Because the entire second half of his career has relied on nothing more then an iron chin and the skill he will always own..
James can lie on the ropes and pick his shots and still win rounds at this age.. and he can still dodge those shots and counter ever so well...
On the other hand..Granted.. Fighters like Roy..Who made a bad move of becoming wieght drained at too late a stage in his career and didnt seem to have the same reflexes as he once did ..He's a man that was shootable..Some say roy lost his chin..No roy never got hit before..How you know he had a chin..Roy lost his reflexes and we saw him actually get hit..
Not saying he is glass jawed atall..But for one..Tarver threw a blond shot..
And if you seen the johnson fight the punch didnt knock him out the way he banged his head on the canvas did..That was seriously painful to watch...
And also people like pac in a few years cant hang around too long because his style is all about bieng a puncher and having that spark in his work to have the energy to jump in and throw hard strait shots and awkward shots.. But he wont always be prime..
Point bieng James is far too tough and far too skilled to be held down..or be shot..
He will probably fight till he dies..Because he can..
Kinda like Duran..Its what they do..What they know..
Peace
