Is James Toney Really Finished ?

That was his last great performance against Holyfield.

I thought his performance against Rydell Booker, was pretty darn good aswell.

Its too bad James Toney couldn't do more at heavyweight and be more active.

He really is a great great boxer.

He just lacka dishiplin as the chinese guy on South Park would say.

And now he's 40 years old and I see no chance of him winning a world title.

He absolutely schooled Dominick Guinn, whos a pretty good fighter in his own right. Also who can forget the beating he put on Ruiz.

[El Kabong]

He's not active enough, he's got a solid defense and all but he just isn't effective on offense anymore.

I think the old man has 1 really good fight left in him. Its a shame when jab and grab douche bag John Ruiz or Rahman keep getting title shots and Toney has to keep fighting ham and eggers until the end. He would probably get killed but he should get a shot at the undisputed title before its over.

Ruiz would kick this version of Toney's ass. John always stays in shape. As for Toney, he also stays in shape--shaped like a shmooooo!

I think if Toney was serious about fighting he would have fought a few months after Oquendo or even granted Oquendo a rematch. Toney probably knew himself that he was done after struggling as he did in that fight and the long break since has been quite telling regarding Toney and his future. It doesn't seem like there is one. And he's been doing it a long time, just a shame that he couldn't win a heavyweight belt (legitimately) and bow out at the top.
