Is James Toney Really Finished ?

You have to be an eternal optimist but love the spirit.

Been a fan for the longest but si....the man is done on the elite level.Mentally and more so physically.He has always been on a roller coaster and at times his own worst enemy...just doing enough to get by and at other times looking as if he could walk into any boxing ring in any era over history and look like he was at home.He can beat all of the one dimensional plodders but wont do much more I believe.Any one specific in mind?

[Kel]

He is certainly done and could get beat by guys he would have smashed to bits in the past.

I think a fight with Oleg Maskaev, would be a good style match up for him.

[JazMerkin]

He's finished as a serious fighter. It's amazing that I can look at his excellent career & think what a waste of the talent it was. Fat bastard.

[OumaFan]

yes and I've thought so for a while. This isn't a crack at you necessarily Ice but how many times have fans of fighters gone "I think he's got one more great performance left" when that guy doesn't have that one great fight left. See Tyson. See Roy Jones. Etc.

Could be.Oleg is an odd one.I thought that he was the type Haye should have looked into for early Hvy exposure...title ties,athreat and feet of stone but hitable & chinny.But ultimatly for Toney...what does it get him?Toney not exactly elusive now.

[Gandalf]

I think Toney is done now. He's been pretty inactive since Peter beat him quite easily in that second fight. What with him being in his 40's and showing no sign of fighting since Oquendo I think it's best that he just let's it be now.

There is nothing more he can prove at his age.

[SweetPea]

Yes, Toney is finished.

Given how smart he is and how great his chin is, he could probably still survive thru 12 rounds with a top guy, but he can't actually beat one at this point.

He should call it quits.

[LEGION]

Well we can all agree he's not finished eating yet.

Well we can all agree he's not finished eating yet.

Correct. He hasn't even reached his prime yet in that regard.
