Is James Toney Really Finished ?

[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.
