James Toney signs multi fight deal with the UFC

[DaxxKahn]

I dunno man, yeah it's easy to say Toney's going to suck, but it all depends on how he trains, who trains him etc etc.

Toney fighting in UFC and doing alright for himself is just as rediculous as saying Mosely has a chance against Floyd.

you never fully know whats going to happen till they get in the ring and do it.

I'm going to reserve judgement....

I know that Toney is working out in the same Gym as Audley Harrison in CA and very reliable sources say Toney is down to 200 lbs and is serious about this all.......


And you are right the idea of Toney doing well in MMA and Mosley beating Mayweather is Rediculous...........But Mosley beating Mayweather is far from Ridiculous

Not in my world. An old man who's been out the ring for 18 months and only had one decent fight in 6 years ain't going to KO the pound for pound best fighter on the planet.

One decent fight in 6 years?...Well lets put them side by side shall we...

PBF since 2003 he has faced...N'Dou, Corley, Bruseles, Gatti, Mitchell, Judah, Baldom ir, DLH, Hatton and JMM

N'Dou and Bruseles are B fighters even in their primes, Corley and Mitchell waaay past it when PBF fought them, JMM much much smaller then PBF and past his best days as we all seen in the Diaz fight...Gatti too easy to hit and the DLH fight was close......Judah was on a meltdown losing to Baldomir before they fought and Hatton again smaller and all offense...The DLH fight was close and in no way did Floyd dominate..

Mosley since 2003 has faced...DLH when DLH was DLH, Winky Wright 2X when Wright was the most avoided fighter from 147-168, Estrada and Cruz though not world class certainly at the time top prospects, 2 beatdown of Vargas who was on a 4 fight win streak and one of the 154lb best at the time pretty much nailing Vargas career shut, Collazo who is tough for anyone, Gave Cotto a good run when Cotto was considered one of the sports best and undefeated, Mayorga who was past his best and had been away from the 147 lb division a while and the destruction of the man many people thought to have an Iron chin in Margarito

So to say Mosley has only had 1 decent or meaningful fight in 6 years is silly...in fact though Mosley may have lost a few in the last 6yrs he has fought better opp and men bigger then him

I think Toney's at the mercy of Dana White and what he wants to do. If Dana wants to try to prove to the world that MMA fighters are better than boxers he'll throw Toney in with a talented grappler that he'll have no chance against. However, he may see this as an opportunity to further capitalize on UFC growing and boxing dying down the past few years, and feed Toney less skilled guys he can KO, possibly trying to lure other boxers into the UFC.

This is sad.Circus comes to town...I think White is banking on Toneys past media brashness and shtick much more than his physical abilities.Sadly Toney may be doing the same.UFc is feeding on another carcass here.Toney is ...was a great, a master boxer...not this.
