He's become just another loud mouth who wants it all but doesn't want to train for it. And to be saying the racist shit he's been saying, while dodging the very 'white boy' who could never be champ - well it's hard to take him seriously. For me personally, a fighter can run his mouth all day long and I won't give a shit if he's exciting. James is very far from it with his fighting for 1 minute of every round, laying on the ropes actually expecting people to respond. Atleast with Mayorga win/lose the fight will be exciting, with Toney all we have to look forward to are press conferences full of racist vomit

basically he's become a novelty item for the sport not a real contender IMO
A guy like Toney has one bad fight and he is crap. Wladimir can have 4 or 5 bad fights on the other hand and still be an awesome killing machine. Toney looked bad against Rahman, but if he trains and gets down to round 220, he can beat anybody out there. And I think his wife is white, so I doubt he is racist.
