James Toney Has Not Convincingy Won A Fight Since Guinn In 2005

[Gandalf]

Toney has slipped back into inactivity and has probably put up a tent in McDonalds or something. He likes it there, he should just retire.

I love James Toney in a strictly non gay way, but it's true what's being said here. He hasn't impressed for a long while now. The Oquendo showing was lame, Toney had no second gear.

hell i'd bet on Toney any day of the week...........it's true that it'd have to be if he was involved in an eating contest of some kind but that's not the point

I forget didn't he beat Ruiz after he fought Guinn. Even though he was roided up it was a very dominant performance. Yes the second most overrated fighter in the past six years.

Was the second Rahman fight taken away from him?

Either way he is a legimate contender in the HW division for awhile based on his draw with Rahman who at the time was one of the champs or considered one of the best heavyweights, and because he beat Holyfield, and he beat John Ruiz(though that was with steroids), then he went on to lose a close decision against Samuel Peter who was/is a highly ranked heavyweight.

He was on steroids to repair muscle damage in his arm. Sure they would have made him stronger, but they weren't the performance enhancement type, or used in hopes of making him a better fighter, it is something doctors use to heal muscles quicker.

I think he got shafted in the first Peter fight, beat Holyfield, and should have beaten Ruiz. It is a shame he never won a belt.

He also stopped Hasim Rahman, who is way past it.......but hell if David Haye fought the Rock it would have been a real test at HW.

Toney is just fighting because he likes the lifestyle I think, his speed and skills are seriously diminished. That being said he still has a hell of a chin and enough left to frustrate most fighters. I can't ever picture him getting up at the elite at HW and in fact I think if he was seriously making a move a greatness he would drop down to Cruiser. This is not the case though.
He can still get paid for putting in mediocre performances against mediocre opponents, which he will continue to do.
