Toney: I'll KO Hopkins

[Trainer Monkey]

The first thing I thought when I seen this was liposuction. There is no way in hell this man will make 185 lbs. F**K Toney.

I was thinking stomach staple,c'mon this is what we have on the fridge to remind us to watch what we eat

[Kirkland Laing]

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.

Well with Calzaghe retired now Hopkins may well consider the Toney fight

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.

[JT Rock]

He is also 40 years of age, and would be losing over 20kg's in weight to face Hopkins. Hopkins is older, but always in shape. Im a long time Toney fan, but the whole proposition sounds absurd.

I hear you miles, but the point of my post was to show that obviously HTH knows little about Toney to say he is a straight forward fighter

He`s a 40 year blob who would have to conceed an endless amount of muscle to get down to 185 and you seriously think he`s gonna do anything other than attempt to go straight to route 1

PS:Ive seen a good dozen Toney fights so once again JT your accusations fall on death ears

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

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

[OumaFan]

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.

[Spicoli]

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 Kobayashi

NATHAN'S HOT DOG CHALLENGE 2009!!!!!


I don't know if that would be his biggest pay day but I think the selling point would be "all you can eat and maybe a little more" ...I can see James now "ooooh where do I sign?"

[El Kabong]

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

[Jody Lane]

That means he has to lose 45 additional pounds. That would be a miracle. He would look like Chris Byrd I bet trying to come back down....you would think he would try cruiserweight first...

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.

[JT Rock]

Its crazy that we are dogging a 1st ballot hall of famer who is a natural 168 pounder who fighting 75 pounds over that but has made a decent accounting of himself the past 5 years

[Kirkland Laing]

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?

[El Kabong]

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

[jon09]

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.

[Wayne]

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.
